    Hi all!

    Does anyone have any ideas on the reverse of this Carausius antoninianus that I've got? I've tried to remove the deposits with a dental pick, but have had no major success so far.

    To me, it looks like Sol advancing left

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Looks like Sol to me as well. Sol advancing left.

    Some examples from ACsearch:

    Edited to add: Hmm, did ACsearch stop allowing linking to even the thumbnail pictures??

    In that case, here are images and links to the above coins directly from CNG's archives:
