Hello!

I would really appreciate some help with authenticating this Diocletian coin.

It is usually not possible to authenticate coins from photos. We do not authenticate coins in this discussion. We give opinions, but not actual authentication. If you want opinions, you should post photos of both sides, and ideally the weight and diameter, and explain why you suspect the coin is fake.

Correct orientation also makes it a lot easier to see.

Welcome Karl. Another suggestion : try to use the Fake Coins Report, it’s a very useful tool to check your coin and also to learn how to detect forgeries.
