Julian 11 360-363 AD.
Ae 17mm of Siscia (Sisak Croatia)
Ob: Bare headed and draped bust right. D N IVLIANVS NO C.
Rev: Soldier spearing fallen horseman wearing Phrygian cap.
FEL TEMP REPARATIO. D SIS mintmark.
RIC V111 363.
At the battle of Samarra Julian rushed into the fray without his armour and was pierced through the liver by a Persian spear. So the exact opposite of the portrayal of the image on the coin.
