paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/23/2017 9:58 pm I did not have a coin of Diocletian, but now I do after winning this one last night. This particular example looks to be in decent shape with most of the silvering intact. I put most of the information into the picture, so hopefully that's an okay presentation and I didn't get the attribution wrong! Comments appreciated.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/24/2017 12:18 am Nice first Diocletian there! Although his folles are more popular, I have always been a fan of the antoninianii, namely because they were made in his actual likeness, not a "Tetrarchy" idealized form. Fully silvered is always a plus, too! Report this Post to the Staff
