<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1835049, member: 19463"]It seems to me that we have had quite a few Diocletian threads lately and I have posted all my new coins to them. Here I will show my old favorite which is a common type but has beautiful color to the point that I shot it with my better camera which allows a huge print that really looks nice but I cold never figure out where in my home decor I would put a 20x30" print of a coin under 1" diameter.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]303861[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, please see my Alexandria mint abdication coin with KP in field. I am not saying this has any relation to the KS situation on the coin Martin showed but I would feel better about his theory if I understood the meaning of my KP. I will point out that my coin is correct Alexandria style. Before now, this coin's greatest claim to fame was appearance as an example of what $10 would buy in 2001 on one of my favorite web pages:</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/acmshow.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/acmshow.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/acmshow.html</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]303860[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The type also relates to another recent thread since it was the first use of DN as an obverse honorific.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
