| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Maximianus facing right, rendered in high relief with fine engraving detail typical of the Tetrarchic period. The emperor's broad, bearded face conveys imperial authority, with the laurel wreath secured by a ribbon visible behind the neck. The paludamentum is fastened at the right shoulder, and the cuirass is finely articulated with muscular detail. A beaded border encircles the flan, and the Latin legend runs around the periphery in well-spaced capital letters. |
