What detail! To my eyes looks more like a profile of Diocletian....Maximianus had a more upturned nose.
But with gem of a coin like yours, does it really matter? I think not....one of the nicest I've seen.thanks

Vincent,
thanks for the comments!! +++

The busts of the Tetrarchs are really mixed among the coins. We can see coins of the same ruler with different busts.
