<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 26725910, member: 10613&quot;]I am the proud new owner of a Diocletian from London with the LON mintmark. This issue was the first struck by the Tetrarchs after the defeat of Allectus. In fact, I bet that this was the actual first one struck. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is a pretty scarce coin, as of 2024, the authors of <b>London Mint of Constantius and Constantine</b> (LMCC) knew of only 43 examples.
