Scarce coin, struck during the few months between his enthronement as Caesar (march 1th, 293) and the monetary reform of Diocletian (second half of 293) when the antoninian (together with the rest of traditional roman coins as sestertius, denarius, etc) was removed from the cash roman system.

EF- condition,  conserving complete details in both sides, including a 70% of the original silvering. Heavy and large exemplar: 4,2 g - 22 mm. Very interesting!
