Summary: coin, Antoninianus of Claudius II (copy). O: Radiate bust R, [DIVO CLAVDI]O; R: Eagle standing L, head R, [CONSE]CRATI[O]
Identification note: Claudius (AD 268-70) was a very popular emperor, who defeated tribes of Alamanni and Goths before dying of the plague. He was deified after his death and many coins were struck in his honour, probably by the emperor Aurelian. These coins are quite uncommon in Britain.
