The “Tetrarchy Collection” was formed beginning in the 1990s by an individual who was fascinated by the burst of pure silver coinage that came out in the twenty year period from c. 294-314. He was lucky enough to be able to choose the best pieces from the many beautiful coins that were on the market at that time, and was able to amass a particularly fine group.
