| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Galerius Valerius Maximianus as Caesar facing right, rendered in three-quarter frontal perspective, a presentation typical of the late Tetrarchic period. The radiate crown with pointed rays surmounts the portrait, while the cuirass and paludamentum are rendered with considerable detail. The circumferential Latin legend reads GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB CAES, identifying the emperor as Noble Caesar. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

Issued from the Heraclea mint in its earliest years of operation — the facility was established by Diocletian around 291 AD as part of his systematic expansion of imperial minting capacity across the eastern provinces. Galerius had been elevated to Caesar only in 293, making this piece among the first struck in his name. The CONCORDIA MILITVM type was a deliberate propaganda exercise, asserting unity between the four rulers of the Tetrarchy at a moment when that unity was entirely new and its durability unproven.
