| Obverse description | Right-facing draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Jovian, wearing a pearl diadem adorned with a prominent central rosette and rows of beads, with a pendant visible behind the ear. The emperor's portrait exhibits finely engraved hair rendered in parallel striated lines, with the muscled cuirass and paludamentum clearly articulated below. The encircling Latin legend reads D N IOVIA-NVS P F AVG, identifying the emperor as Dominus Noster Jovianus, Pius Felix Augustus. The effigy is rendered in the high-relief Imperial tradition characteristic of late antique solidus coinage from the Sirmium mint. |

| Reverse description | Emperor Jovian, diademed, draped, and cuirassed, stands facing with head turned to the left, holding in his right hand a military standard bearing a Chi-Rho Christogram on the banner and in his left hand a globe surmounted by a Victory. To the left, a bound captive is seated on the ground, wearing a pointed Phrygian cap and turning his head toward the emperor in a gesture of subjugation. The composition conveys imperial triumph and divine sanction, with the exergual mint mark *SIRM• denoting the Sirmium mint. The encircling legend SECVRITAS - REI PVBLICAE proclaims the security and stability of the Roman state. |
