| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Jovian facing right, wearing a pearl diadem with a central jewel and strands of beaded decoration visible at the shoulder. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the late Roman imperial style, with carefully engraved hair and a firm, youthful profile. The circumferential legend reads D N IOVIANVS P F AVG, divided by the bust, and is executed in crisp Roman capital letters within a beaded border. The neck and upper torso show folds of the imperial paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder. The overall style is consistent with the Nicomedia mint's competent workshop production of the early 360s AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jovian's reign lasted just eight months, ending when he was found dead in his tent at Dadastana in February 364 — almost certainly from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a brazier in a poorly ventilated room, though assassination was immediately suspected. He had already negotiated the humiliating Peace of Nisibis with Shapur II, surrendering five provinces and the strategically vital fortress city itself to end the disastrous campaign that killed Julian. Coinage from his reign is scarce simply because there was so little time to produce it.
