| Obverse description | Radiate, helmeted, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximianus facing left, portrayed with a short beard, the radiate crown surmounting the helmet in the distinctive antoninianus convention. The emperor is depicted in full military dress, with the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The Latin legend encircles the bust along the beaded border of the flan, which is of irregular circular form characteristic of late third-century hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | Jupiter stands facing left, nude but for a chlamys draped over his left shoulder, holding a small Victory on a globe in his extended right hand and a long vertical sceptre in his left hand; at his feet to the left, an eagle may appear on certain specimens. The reverse legend IOVI TVTATORI AVGG frames the field, invoking Jupiter as divine protector of the two reigning Augusti, with the mint mark P in the exergue. The composition reflects the theological programme of the Tetrarchy, aligning imperial authority with Jovian divine guardianship. |
