<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2468683, member: 72818&quot;]I&#039;ve been interested in this type of silver coin of Diocletian since I first saw an example posted on CT about nine or more months ago but it always seemed to draw several bidders willing to pay far more than my budget would allow. Finally, I was able to snag this example at a fair retail price----although still a bit pricey. I LOVE the reverse and it seems &#039;sharper&#039; in-hand than the seller&#039;s photos seem to suggest, unfortunately I haven&#039;t been able to improve on them despite numerous &#039;re-shoots&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please post any silver coin of this era that you may wish to share.</p><p><br /></p><p>AR Argenteus of Diocletian; Heraclea mint, 296 AD</p><p>Laureate head right; DIOCLETIANVS AVG.</p><p>The four Tetrarchs sacrificing over a tripod before city enclosure with six turrets.</p><p>HE in exergue; VICTORIAE SARMATICAE</p><p>RIC 10a, RSC 491 b; 2.92 grams, 17 mm</p><p>[ATTACH=full]518758[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
