Comment
This type differs from RIC VI #37a by the bust seen from three quarters back. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Diocletianus coin is that it was issued during a time of economic reform and currency standardization in the Roman Empire. The coin's design and weight were standardized across the empire, making it easier to trade and conduct commerce. This standardization also helped to reduce inflation and stabilize the economy. Additionally, the use of bronze in the coin's production was a departure from the traditional gold and silver coins that were previously used, reflecting a shift towards more accessible and practical currency for everyday transactions.
