| Obverse lettering | IMP C MAXIMIANVS P F AVG (Translation: Imperator Caesar Maximianus Pius Felix Augustus. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar Maximianus, the pious, the fortunate, emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | The demigod Hercules is depicted standing and facing right, engaged in the act of strangling the Nemean lion, referencing the First Labour of Hercules. The hero grasps the lion with both arms in a dynamic, forceful composition that underscores the theme of virtus. A club, the iconic attribute of Hercules, is visible behind him in the field. The reverse legend VIRTVTI AVGG encircles the scene, invoking the collective virtue and valour of the two Augusti — Diocletian and Maximianus. A beaded border surrounds the entire reverse type. |
