Here's a newp. Coin was only listed as a Jovian by the dealer with no other reference so I'll have to dig through the RIC listings to see what this is.   |

Jovian AE, 20.3mm. DNIOVIAN-VSPFAVG, diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / VOT V MVLT X within wreath, mintmark TESA. I don't find a listing for the obverse text.

The second letter isn't that clear, but it looks like PP to me.

Could be PP, it's not as clear as the first letter P.

Thats definitely P F - is this an error or a variety? Have you checked helvetica?
I checked helvetica - doesn't list this but the ones from this mint with PP are rated Scarce or Rare.

I wasn't aware of helvetica but will do a search to check there. After looking at it at different angles, it's looks like PF.   |

Wouldnt matter if it was PP - thats not listed either. Plus, this makes more sense.

Other than whats listed in Helevtica and the reference I gave you of RIC VIII 239 I have not been able to locate any other reference. So it's possible that it just not listed in RIC or maybe a typo?

Not an RIC typo - the picture is clearly DN JOVIANVS PF PP AVG
Perhaps its a mule?

I admit that my eyes aren't that good anymore but I'm not seeing where it's PF PP. I see DN IOVIANVS PF (PP?) AVG. A mule is very possible.

The one shown on wildwinds is "PF PP". Yours omits the PP. Die cutter got tired (or ran out of space). Not a ''mule" which would be 2 different species ie coin dies producing a hybrid.

This one looks like it has the obverse of RIC 235 with the reverse of RIC 239A.
