Yes the reverse is definitely a Salus! I've got a Salonina antioch mint with Salus on the reverse.
Not sure about the emperor though but it does appear to look like a Late Roman to me

Been out metal-detecting?
The "...S AVG" is very clear and the image could the Salus, so I would agree that it is a good starting point.

Thank you , I can't see a serpent but that could just be the condition or the strike .

It certainly looks like a Carausius to me!

Nice find. I have still not been able to add one of him to my collection.

The coins of Allectus, his successor, are more difficult to find.

If I lived in England I would be out metal detecting everyday. I just haven't gotten around to adding him yet, been working on my Eastern Empires more lately.

I have about 3 (I think) and I would swap all of them for your nice green one.
