| Obverse lettering | IMP C C VAL DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG (Translation: Imperator, Caesar, Caius Valerius Diocletianus Pius Felix Augustus. Supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, Gaius Valerius Diocletian, the pious, the fortunate, emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | Jupiter, patron deity of the emperor, stands facing left in a commanding pose, holding a thunderbolt in his raised right hand and a long vertical sceptre in his left. At his feet, an eagle faces left holding a wreath in its beak, serving as the divine attribute of Jupiter and symbol of imperial legitimacy. The composition reflects the Tetrarchic theological program associating Diocletian with Jovius. Mint marks appear in the field and exergue on certain varieties. |
