| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Maximianus facing right, draped in imperial mantle, with the right hand holding an olive branch and the left hand clasping a mappa. The effigy reflects the post-abdication senior Augustus iconography characteristic of the Tetrarchic period, with a bold, idealized portrait style. The obverse legend surrounds the bust and acclaims Maximianus as the most felicitous senior emperor. |

| Reverse description | Two standing draped figures facing one another in a ceremonial composition: Providentia, on the right, extends her right hand toward Quies, personifying divine foresight and its conferral of repose upon the imperial office; Quies, on the left, holds a branch in her right hand and leans upon a sceptre with her left. The letter S appears in the left field and F in the right field, indicating officina marks. The mint mark is inscribed in the exergue, with the reverse legend encircling the scene above. |
