Comments

RIC V.II -. Calicó -. Lukanc, Diokletianus, s. 152, 5 (Dumbarton Oaks). Depeyrot s. 138, 4 (Dumbarton Oaks).
Znane dwa okazy.

Otto Seeck i Karl Pink, w "Die Goldprägung des Diocletianus und seiner Mitregenten," NZ 64 (1931), s. 57-58," poprawnie postawili hipotezę, że znak w centralnym polu na tej bardzo rzadkiej emisji oznaczał standard wagowy 50 do funta rzymskiego (standard 6,40 g), w porównaniu do emisji O (1/70=4,60 g) i późniejszych emisji X, Ξ i Σ (1/60=5,30 g).

Two specimens known.

Otto Seeck and Karl Pink, in "Die Goldprägung des Diocletianus und seiner Mitregenten," NZ 64 (1931), pp. 57-58," correctly hypothesized the mark in the central field on this very rare issue designated the weight standard of 50 to the Roman pound (6.40 gm standard), as compared to the O issues (1/70=4.60 gm) and later X, Ξ, and Σ issues (1/60=5.30 gm).
