    I just received this in the mail from @John Anthony in the latest forum auction. Pretty nice coin, desert patina, and a product of the Alexandrian mint. Let me know what you think of it and feel free to post any examples you have! Photo just snapped moments ago with a Google pixel phone.

    I also like this image of the original tetrarchs, vast change in style from the earlier realistic images!

    I think you got yourself a nice new coin for the collection!

    I really like the holding head types.

    Yes the head of serapis is a nice touch considering the coin was minted in Alexandria. I've just realized after examining the coin that it is from maximinus daia. The gal Val legend is a bit confusing.
