| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Diocletian facing right, depicted with short beard and strong, mature facial features in the tetrarchic style. The emperor wears a radiate-style laurel crown and a muscled cuirass with visible paludamentum draped over the left shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP C DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG, distributed around the periphery of the field. The portrait is rendered in the robust, somewhat austere artistic idiom characteristic of Diocletianic coinage, emphasizing imperial authority and martial dignity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The GENIO POPVLI ROMANI reverse type was introduced as part of Diocletian's coinage reform of 294–296 AD, which created the nummus as a larger, silvered bronze denomination intended to stabilize a monetary system that had been quietly collapsing for decades. Siscia — modern Sisak in Croatia — was one of the key mints activated to meet the sudden demand for the new coin across the Balkans and Danube frontier.
RIC VI 95a places this piece among the earlier Siscia issues of the reform, before the mint shifted workshop organization following the introduction of the tetrarchic system's full administrative restructuring. The silvering on most survivors has long since stripped away.
