<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 1773416, member: 31620&quot;]One of my ancient collections focuses on the coins of Probus from his mint at Lugdunum. I have gathered around 150 examples of the years and the time between my purchases grows all the time. When I find one I don&#039;t have I will go for it but even then I only win about 1 in 10. This is my newset addition to this addiction from the 5th issue which introduced the more flamboyant busts to this mint. I will take these in any grade I can get.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Probus Antoninianus</p><p>Obv:– IMP C PROBVS P F AVG, Radiate, helmeted, cuirassed bust left, holding spear and shield</p><p>Rev:– MARS VICTOR, Mars walking right, holding spear and trophy</p><p>Minted in Lugdunum (III) Emission 5 Officina 3. End A.D. 277 to Early A.D. 278</p><p>Reference:– Cohen 336. Bastien 241 (6 examples cited).
