Had this for awhile. Got this during my round of buying emperors I still needed from the Recovery Period 2 months ago. Carinus (283 - 285 A.D.) Æ(S) Antoninianus O: IMP CARINVS P F AVG, radiate, draped, cuirassed bust right. R: AETERNIT AVGG, Aeternitas standing left, holding phoenix on globe, lifting hem of robe with left hand. KAΓ in ex. Rome Mint. 284 - 285 A.D. 22 mm 3.8 g RIC 248
that a nice carinus mat....cool reverse also....flirty skirt lift and phoenix! i don't have one of this guy, but am currently going after one...fingers crossed.
Great coin, Mikey. Another forum pointed out mine is missing an "I", seems to be an engravers error which I didn't even notice till it was pointed out. Extra cool!
Mat, are you referring to a missing 'I' within the 'aetern ta' ???? That's pretty cool!!! Of course, mine depicts him as Caesar (NOBC)/ Princip and not as Imp and Augustus as yours does...
Yes. Like I said, didnt even notice it when I got it. I was more concerned of the mint mark. This was an Ebay grab no less.
