| Obverse description | Radiate, helmeted, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximianus facing right, rendered in the robust military style characteristic of the Tetrarchic period. The radiate crown surmounts the helmet, combining divine and martial iconography befitting the emperor's role as associate of Hercules. The cuirass is finely articulated, conveying imperial authority and martial prowess. The Latin legend MAXIMIANVS AVG curves around the periphery of the field, enclosed within a beaded border. The portrait displays the strong, bearded features associated with Maximianus's official coinage of this period. |
