| Obverse description | Radiate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Carausius facing right, with a paludamentum (military cloak) draped over the left shoulder, rendered in the robust late Roman style typical of Britannic Empire coinage. The emperor is depicted with a short beard and characteristic facial features associated with Carausian portraiture. A beaded border frames the design, with the Latin imperial legend surrounding the effigy in the field. |
