<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 24667672, member: 111067&quot;]Got this recently. The era of the last tetradrachms for Roman ruler before Diocletians coinage reforms. The coin has two unusual aspects to it, in that the date order is reversed S-L instead of L-S and that Eirene is leaning on what appears to be a lituus shaped column. A coin I have only seen a few images of and I am proud to have one in my collection. Post your Diocletians, Eirenes or anomalies.</p><p><b>Diocletian AD 284-305. Potin Tetradrachm (19.5mm, 7.38 g.)</b></p><p><b>Egypt, Alexandria mint, dated RY 6 (AD 290/1). </b></p><p><b>Obv. A K G OYA ΔIOKΛHTIANOC CEB, laureate, cuirassed bust right</b></p><p><b>Rev.
