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 the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the inscription "VOT V MVLT X" which means "Five years of tribunician power" in Latin, indicating that the coin was minted during Jovian's fifth year of rule.
