Full Description

Roman coin, a good specimen of a first brass, with, obverse: ANTONINUS AUG. PIUS T.P.XIII, with laureated head of Antoninus Pius, and reverse: S.C. with Felicitas holding a cornucopia, found in May, 1936, on the Carrington Road allotments, Dartford (1). Early in the 1930's Carrington Road was unmade and allotments existed on either side where houses now stand. It was developed piecemeal and the allotments existed right up to the time the last house was built. My informant Mr. Dixon, 23 Carrington Road, has lived there right from the start but has no recollection of the finding of this coin. Area centred TQ 550742 (2). Additional reference (3).
