| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and helmeted bust of Allectus facing right, clad in cuirass with elaborate shoulder guards, rendered in high relief with finely detailed armor ornamentation. The emperor's bearded portrait is depicted in the assertive, heroic military style characteristic of late third-century Roman coinage. The encircling legend is incuse in Latin capital letters, reading from the lower left. The portrait conveys strong individualized features including a prominent brow and short curled beard, consistent with known depictions of Allectus on his Britannic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Allectus served as finance minister under Carausius before orchestrating his assassination in 293 AD and seizing control of the breakaway British territory. His reign lasted barely three years before Constantius I crossed the Channel and retook the province in 296 AD — making the entire window for gold coinage production extraordinarily compressed. The Camulodunum mint, one of two operating under the Britannic regime, struck aurei in very limited quantities compared to the antoniniani that funded day-to-day military loyalty.
RIC V.2 #9 is among the rarer Allectan gold types. Constantius reportedly caught Allectus's fleet in fog off the Isle of Wight.
