<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 4232793, member: 56653&quot;]I was thinking of opening a new thread for Jovian, but considering all the nice coins of him gathered on this one, including [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] &#039;s incredible rarity, I&#039;ll just revive it to add a coin very similar to [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] &#039;s AE1 up to officina. It&#039;s not a die match tho.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1082264[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This AE1 is part of a coinage that started under Julian II&#039;s revival of large module base metal issues and ended with Valens by the mid 360s. Antioch had a great output for Jovian, which means that although scarce in good condition, these coins are available usually. The bust with rosette diadem might be a bit scarcer than the usual pearl-diademed, but according to RIC both 228 and 229 are noted as S (scarce).</p><p><br /></p><p>It has the pleasing aspect of an overall mediocre condition coin but of a nice size, weight and design. Plus the interesting head gear of the emperor in the effigy. Some traces of silvering are visible, which is quite interesting also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
