Description
Diocletian and Galerius, as Caesar. A.D. 284-305 and 293-305, respectively. A pair of clay coin molds. Two double-sided coin molds, reportedly discovered together. 3 and 29 mm respectively. One has incuse obverse designs of Diocletian and Galerius, the other has incuse reverse designs depicting Genius and from the mint at Ticinum. Although the Diocletian mold has flaked over much of the edge obscuring the lettering, the Galerius mold as well as the two reverse molds are in excellent condition and it is apparent that they were all cast from coins in superb condition with absolutely no wear! Nice red clay, fragile.
