RESTITVTOR REIP

Pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust of Jovinus to the right.

The emperor standing right, holding a standard with the right hand, a victory with the left hand and placing his foot on a captive on the ground with his hands tied. The victory is placed on a globe, crowns the emperor and holds a palm. The standard is decorated with a cross with a dot at each corner.

Photo of a coin sold the 14/01/2003 by Classical Numismatic Group, Triton VI, lot 1133, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=122077, link to their website: https://www.cngcoins.com/.

As Classical Numismatic Group points out, this KONOB mark was not listed until then. I read KONOB and not KOMOB as noted by Classical Numismatic Group. It may be that the letter M is incorrectly entered because logic dictates that it is noted COM (K by mistake) for Comitatus Obryziacum.

It seems obvious that the coins AYC #1, RIC 1708 and AYC # 2, RIC - (this coin) and the copy illustrated in the RIC X plate 46, n°1702, have three obverse dies made by the same engraver.

A strange shape is to be noted: on the left of the top of the standard, we see a shape resembling a star surrounded by small dots or at the right corner of the standard.
