| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Maximianus facing right, rendered in the vigorous late Roman style characteristic of the Tetrarchic period. The emperor wears a radiate crown — the defining attribute of the antoninianus denomination — set above a broad, bearded face with pronounced features. Drapery is visible on the left shoulder, and the cuirass is indicated beneath. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP C M AVR VAL MAXIMIANVS P F AVG, running clockwise around the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Jupiter, depicted standing facing left, extends his right hand in a gesture of protection toward the emperor Maximianus, who stands to the right facing left and receives a small Victory on a globe from Jupiter's outstretched hand. Jupiter holds a long sceptre in his left hand, and an eagle stands at his feet on the left. The scene symbolises divine protection and legitimation of imperial authority. The legend IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG encircles the field, with the mint mark TR in the field and XXI• (or variants) in the exergue, within a beaded border. |
