My latest, RIC 224 (RSC 165). Strong, handsome portrait of the emperor, rather delicate depiction of Moneta.

My most recent, decent but certainly less than spectacular condition, bought partly because it was bargain priced, but also because I was intrigued that it was struck rather late in Caracalla's reign yet in this portrait his chin looks to be bare. Identified as RIC 302 (RSC 139), which when I look at various examples, some are very similar to this from the facial hair standpoint, while others do show the emperor with a full beard.

Looks like it was from his neck beard phase.
