| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Emperor Diocletian facing right, depicted with close-cropped hair and short beard, the laurel wreath tied with ribbons falling behind the neck. The cuirass is rendered in fine detail with layered pteryges visible at the shoulder. The imperial effigy is boldly modelled in high relief, characteristic of the vigorous artistic style of the Tetrarchic period. The obverse legend runs clockwise around the periphery within a beaded border. |
