Offered is a Militum-type Antoninianus, struck at Ticinum under the reign of Carus in 283, being the FIDES MILIT reverse paired IMP CARVS PF AVG obverse, SEAR#12170, RIC#70, Hunter#CLVII. This coin, struck on a regular flan, retains strong portrait detail despite some weakness to the reverse. A lovely copper-grey patina, lending this appealing example considerable eye-appeal. A choice example of a scarcely-encountered type from a fairly brief reign.
