Jovinus AR Hybrid Siliqua. Arelate, AD 411-413. D N IOVIN[VS P F] AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust to right / VICTORIA AVGG, Roma seated to left on curule chair, holding Victory on globe and inverted spear; KONT in exergue. RIC X -, but cf. 1718-9 (Sebastianus); RSC -. cf. 1 (Sebastianus); for another hybrid example, NAC 40, 901. 1.29g, 16mm, 12h.
Very Fine. An extremely rare hybrid.
Ex Jeroen van der Meulen Collection.
The seated Roma reverse type was struck for both the siliquae of Jovinus and Sebastianus at the mint of Arelate, with the legend RESTITVTOR REIP used by the former and VICTORIA AVGG by the latter. This hybrid example was struck with an obverse die engraved for Jovinus and a reverse die intended for striking siliquae in the name of his brother and co-emperor Sebastianus. The coinage of the latter is of the greatest rarity.
