The defeat of Allectus
in A.D. 296 and the re-absorption of Britain into the central empire of
the Tetrarchy, meant that the Carausian and Alllectian experiment in
currency was over. The 'C' mint ceased to operate and standard imperial
denominations and types became the official circulating currency. The
London mint was taken over by the new regime and converted to
striking coins of the imperial type, it was however restricted solely to
base metal issues and operated with only one officina (workshop).
One of the panoply of official mints across the empire, the mint can be
recognized by the marks PLN, PLON etc, most likely
standing for P(ecunia) L(o)N(dinii). Some of
the early issues do not carry a mint mark and is has been suggested that
this was a deliberate policy designed to disguise the continued use of
facilities established by a rebel regime. Indeed, continuity amongst
mint personnel might be expected and some of the early busts do have a
bear a close resemblance in style to those of Carausius and Allectus. The mint continued to supply
the majority of the provinces base metal issues until it's closure in
c. A.D. 325.
