| Obverse description | Radiate, cuirassed bust of Diocletian facing right, with the emperor depicted wearing a radiate crown and military cuirass, rendered in the vigorous late Roman imperial style. The bearded portrait presents a strong, authoritative effigy characteristic of Tetrarchic coinage. The encircling legend runs from lower left to upper right around the bust. The flan is irregular in outline, as is typical of hammered antoniniani of this period. |
