Reverse description The personification of Providentia stands in the field, depicted in a long stola with attributes consistent with her standard iconographic type, likely holding a baton or wand directed toward a globe at her feet. The reverse legend PROVIDENTIA AVG encircles the design, invoking the foresight and divine providence of the Augustus. The mint marks S P and CL appear in the field and exergue respectively, indicating production at Camulodunum (modern Colchester). The surface is heavily worn and patinated with green corrosion, obscuring finer detail, though the standing figure remains discernible. The overall style is consistent with the debased billon coinage of the Britannic Empire under Allectus.
