It also happens to be a "plate coin," published in a book: Diocletian, Billon Tetradrachm, 292/293 AD (Year 9), Alexandria, Egypt mint. Obv. Laureate and cuirassed bust right, ΔΙΟΚΛHΤΙΑΝΟC CΕΒ / Rev.

The photo in Kellner: *The commentary about this coin on the cited page of Kellner states: “In den Lorbeerkranz einer Münze der selben Offizin (Abb. 23) ist die Jahreszahl ENA/TOV / L eingeschrieben. Das Portrait stammt vom „2. Graveur“, allerdings lässt der in ordentlichen Strichen gezeichnete Bart auf eine Überarbeitung durch den „1. Graveur“ schließen.” (Translation: “The laurel wreath of a coin from the same Offizin (fig. 23) is inscribed with the year ENA/TOV / L. The portrait is by the ‘2nd engraver’, although the beard, drawn in neat strokes, suggests a reworking by the ‘1st engraver’.") Next: another plate coin.
