Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis - Jovianus coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Jovian, who ruled from 363 to 364 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Victory on the other. This coin was minted during a time of significant political and military upheaval in the Roman Empire, and its design reflects the cultural and religious values of the era.
