| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Carus facing right, rendered in the characteristic late Roman provincial style of the Alexandrian mint. The imperial effigy displays a radiate or laurel wreath atop the head, with visible paludamentum and cuirass at the shoulder. The Greek imperial titulature encircles the bust as a peripheral legend. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of late third-century Alexandrian tetradrachms struck under Carus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Carus ruled for barely fourteen months before dying on campaign against Persia in 283 AD — struck by lightning, according to the official account, though contemporaries were skeptical. His Alexandrian tetradrachms therefore represent one of the shorter windows in the long sequence of Roman provincial coinage from Egypt, and surviving examples with sharp reverses are genuinely uncommon simply because so few were ever produced.
