<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3022110, member: 19463&quot;]I would be very interested in knowing (but doubt we ever could) whether any die cutters of the last tetrarchal tetradrachms actually did work on Imperial style coins and when the last one (if there were any) retired.&nbsp; Can someone show coins of both types that seem to have been cut by the same &#039;hand&#039; or even the same style?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I do not own a coin of the earliest Alexandria mint Imperial follis issue.&nbsp; By the time of my Diocletian, I see no stylistic holdover from the tetradrachms.&nbsp; Perhaps the intervention of Domitius Domitianus saw a housecleaning of staff??? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]751726[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>CNG sold a Galerius as struck under Domitius.&nbsp; The style there does have some relation to the tets. </p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=288496" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=288496" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=288496</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
