Comment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovian_(emperor)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Jovianus (VOT V; Alexandria) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Jovian, who ruled from 363 to 364 AD, on one side, and the goddess Victory on the other. This coin was minted during Jovian's reign and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire. Despite being made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at the time, the Nummus - Jovianus coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins that were minted.
