Marcus Aurelius Carinus was the eldest son of the Emperor Carus, becoming Emperor in the west upon his father's death while campaigning against the Persians.

Carinus is recorded as having a dissolute lifestyle, replete with infamous sexual escapades. He was defeated in battle by Diocletian, although it's not entirely clear as to what was the exact cause of his demise. In any event, the Senate subsequently issued a decree of damnatio memoriae, which buttressed Diocletian's claim to legitimacy as the new Emperor.

This coin depicts Carinus as Caesar, and thus dates from 282-283 AD. The reverse proclaims PRINCIPI IVVENTVT. It's roughly 21.5 mm in diameter and weighs 3.8 grams. I'm not certain precisely how this is cataloged, nor do I have a handle on what appears to be a mint mark.
