| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Galerius (as Caesar) facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the front, with detailed hair and beard treatment characteristic of Tetrarchic portraiture. The obverse legend ΜΑΞΙΜΙΑΝΟϹ Κ runs around the periphery, identifying the ruler by his adoptive name Maximianus and his rank as Caesar. The bust is framed by a beaded border typical of Alexandrian tetradrachm coinage of the late 3rd century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Diocletian's monetary reform of 296 AD — the same year this coin's production cycle ended — fundamentally restructured Egyptian coinage, abolishing the ancient Alexandrian tetradrachm system that had operated as a closed currency zone since the Ptolemaic period. Egypt had maintained its own denominational isolation for centuries, refusing standard Roman coin entry, and this issue falls in the final phase of that arrangement. The lambda-delta regnal date marks year four of Diocletian's reign as counted by the Alexandrian calendar, which began each year on 29 August.
