Diocletian F ADVENT AVGG N N argenteus from Carthage
« on: May 11, 2023, 12:34:32 PM »
Here is an unofficial argenteus from Carthage. The reverse was engraved in particularly poor style. For comparison, the second coin below is an official version of Constantius.

Diocletian
AD 296- 298
AR Argenteus
19mm   3.0g
DIOCLETIANVS AVG; Laureate head right
F ADVENT AVGG N N; Africa standing facing, head left, holding standard and tusk; at her feet, lion standing left, head right, with bucranium to left.
In ex. P
