| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Diocletianus facing right, rendered in the late Roman provincial style characteristic of the Alexandrian mint. The imperial effigy displays a radiate or laurel wreath crown and visible cuirass at the shoulder. A Greek legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The flan is irregular and somewhat coarse, consistent with the debased potin coinage of the period. |
