2) Galerius, 1 March 305 - 5 May 311 A.D.

Description from website as follows:

The Sisak Hoard of more than 2000 silver argentei, most of them mint-state, plus silver vessels, was found in 1953 near Siscia (Croatia).
Still today, nearly all the high grade early argentei of the early tetrarchy on the market came from this hoard.
The deposition of the hoard can be placed in the year 295/296.
