This tetradrachm, once again dedicated to Constantius I Caesar, is of the fourth year (295-296 AD) and shows on the obverse one of his worthy physiognomic portraits of high relief, of mint state, in practice proof as well as the reverse, where the usual peacemaker Elpis stands out. Splendid specimen, as the previous one, coming from the titled Dattari collection.
