    Hi all!

    I recently bought this antoninianus of Carausius, and am trying to attribute it properly. It appears to be an official MONETA AVG issue, but it has XI in the exergue. Would that make it a double antoninianus, or just a strange mintmark?

    I also can't find it in RIC. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Sure its not XXI. LRB have this denotation commonly to state its 20 parts copper to one part silver.
