Carus; 282-283 AD, Siscia, Double Antoninianus, 4.10g. RIC-99 (R2), C-27 (50 Fr., no source). Obv: DEO ET DOMINO CARO AVG Bust of Carus, radiate and cuirassed l., facing bust of Sol, radiate and draped r. Rx: FELICIT - A[S] REIPVBLICAE Felicitas standing l., leaning on column, holding short caduceus and transverse scepter, XI in exergue. A remarkable and very rare obverse type calling Carus "Master and God" and showing his portrait facing that of the sun god. Analyses have shown that the rare coins marked XI contained about 9% silver, while those marked XXI contained about 4.5% silver. The coins marked XI must therefore have been worth twice as much as those marked XXI, and "XI" must have meant "ten parts copper, one part silver", whereas "XXI" meant "twenty parts copper, one part silver".
