It was struck on two weight standards - 5,2 and 4,5 grams. By the end of Constantius' reign in AD 361, this coin too had been reduced to a mere 1,9 grams.
The heavier issues by the western usurper Magnentius and his cousing Decentius are sometimes referred to as Maiorinas, even if they initially weighed up to 8 grams, and at other times referred to as Double Maiorinas. Double Mairoinas were also struck under Julian II, Valens & Jovian.

But what do the stars represent? On 4 May 360, Venus joined Mars to form a single bright object between the horns of Taurus (the Bull) as the constellation set in the western sky. Two weeks earlier, Mars was between the horns, and the brighter planet, Venus, rested on the the bull's shoulder . There can be little doubt that Julian saw this planetary conjunction as an omen for his victory and showed it on his coins“
