| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Maximinus II (Daia) facing right, depicted with short beard and diadem ribbons falling behind the neck. The emperor's portrait is rendered in the vigorous late-Roman tetrarchic style, with strong facial features and detailed drapery at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads MAXIMINVS FIL AVGG (or with interpuncts: MAXIMINVS • FIL • AVGG), identifying him as son of the Augusti. A beaded border frames the entire obverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maximinus II issued this coinage as Caesar under the Tetrarchic system, a period when the western and eastern courts were fracturing badly — by 308 the system Diocletian had engineered was already collapsing into open rivalry. The Thessalonica mint was one of the primary eastern production centers during this breakdown, operating under shifting political loyalties as Galerius, who controlled the region, maneuvered against his co-rulers. Maximinus would eventually declare himself Augustus unilaterally in 310, effectively abandoning the Caesar title this very issue was struck to advertise.
