Struck at Alexandria during the reign of Constantius I, father of Constantine the Great, this large bronze belongs to the distinctive Egyptian tetrarchic coinage known for broad flans & bold lettering. Alexandria's issues often feature clear mintmarks alongside the reverse legend GENIO POPVLI ROMANI, "Genius of the Roman People," reflecting the monetary reforms & regional production standards instituted under the tetrarchy in the late 3rd & early 4th century AD.
