| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Diocletian facing right, depicted with short beard and cuirass, the effigy rendered in the robust late Roman imperial style. The imperial titulature legend runs along the obverse field in Latin characters, encircling the portrait. The laurel wreath, symbol of military victory and divine favour, is rendered with fine detail. The portrait conveys the authoritative, idealised character typical of Tetrarchic coinage from the Heraclea mint. |
