Description: | Copper alloy discs (2), possibly coin blanks, both 20mm maximum diameter, one (3.55g) with the hammered-out remains of the obverse of a radiate of Carausius on one side, the other (5.92g) blank on both sides. These appear to be blanks for producing coins that must (at least in the case of the Carausian undertype) belong to the 4th century. The most likely context for their production is during the late 340s and early 350s when copies of the large FEL TEMP bronzes of Constantius II and Constans and the succeeding issues of Magnentius and Decentius were being produced.
