| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximian facing right, rendered in high relief with finely engraved hair and beard. The laureate wreath is depicted with multiple berry clusters, characteristic of the Tetrarchic period's distinctive portraiture style. A paludamentum is visible at the shoulder, secured by a fibula. The encircling Latin legend reads MAXIMIANVS AVG, distributed around the periphery within a beaded border. The iridescent toning of the silver flan enhances the bold, authoritative profile typical of Diocletianic workshop production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The four Tetrarchs — Diocletian, Maximian, Constantius Chlorus, and Galerius — are depicted sacrificing over a lighted tripod-altar placed before a fortress gate flanked by six towers, symbolizing the unity and military strength of the Tetrarchy. The emperors stand in two pairs facing one another across the central altar, each rendered in a standardized, frontal or three-quarter posture reflecting the hieratic Tetrarchic artistic convention. The fortified camp gate (porta principalis) with its multiple towers is a hallmark type of the argenteus series introduced under Diocletian's monetary reform. The reverse legend VIRTVS MILITVM, meaning 'Valor of the Soldiers,' is divided across the field in two parts flanking the central composition. A plain exergue line separates the main field from the lower margin. |
