| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Galerius, as Caesar under the title MAXIMIANVS AVG, facing right, rendered with fine detail including a short beard and layered laurel wreath with dangling ties visible at the nape. The portrait is executed in the bold, high-relief style characteristic of the Tetrarchic period, with strong facial features and careful attention to the imperial wreath. The circumferential Latin legend MAXIMIANVS AVG frames the effigy around the coin's border. |

Galerius struck this issue at Serdica — modern Sofia — as Caesar under Diocletian's Tetrarchic system, and the mint there became one of the primary western Balkan production centers precisely because of its proximity to the Danube frontier and its military supply demands. The argenteus itself was Diocletian's attempt to revive a functioning silver coinage after decades of debased antoniniani had destroyed public confidence in silver denominations entirely.
RIC VI 11b is distinguished from 11a by its reverse mintmark detail — a small but catalogically significant variation that has generated persistent collector confusion between the two.
