It looks like a tetradrachm from Alexandria, probably Diocletian if I read the obverse legend correctly, of year 5.

Always interested in St Louis MO & IL metro area and Evansville IN national bank notes and Vatican/papal states coins and medals!

Yep, a Roman Egypt tetradrachm of Diocletian, Year 5 (288-289 AD). Reverse is Eusebeia standing, dropping incense-ball onto altar and holding a "box". Wildwinds example

Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
