That's a decent hole filler for Carausius. Too bad many coins from this emperor are of low quality.

The coins of his successor Allectus are much scarcer, and generally command higher prices.

I'm always on the watch for decent Carausius and Allectus coins. I only own one and two respectively. This coin may be rough, but it is identifiable so that makes it a good find. I think this attributes as:

RIC 165 Carausius AE Antoninianus 3.59 gr, 24.66 mm. London. 287-293 AD. IMP CARAVSIVS PF AVG, radiate and draped bust right / SALVS PVBLICA, Salus standing right, feeding serpent in arms. B-E across fields. Mintmark MLXX or MLXXI. RIC V-2, London 165
