<p>[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 8168389, member: 84905"]Very nice coin. The Adventus reverse was produced for Probus by different mints. Here is a coin from Cyzicus, which I just picked up on Ebay. It does not photograph well and looks kind of unattractive in the picture. That is, my picture is already a lot better than that of the seller, who seemed to have trouble selling the coin for EUR 69. At least it was in my watch list for quite a while. I'm really happy with the purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Obv.: </b>VIRTVS PROBI AVG</p><p><b>Rev.: </b>ADVENTVS PROBI AVG</p><p><b>Exergue</b>: B</p><p><b>Mint:</b> Cyzicus, 2nd officina</p><p><b>Measurements:</b> 4.27g, 20X23mm, 6h</p><p><b>Nearly full silvering and EF condition.
