| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Diocletian facing right, depicted with a short beard, rendered in the bold, realistic portraiture style characteristic of the Tetrarchic period. The laureate wreath is finely detailed with individual leaves and ties visible at the nape of the neck. The emperor's strong, bearded features are prominently modelled with high relief. The encircling Latin legend reads DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG, distributed around the field. A beaded border frames the entire design. |
