<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 1773682, member: 31620&quot;]I learned more about the coins of Probus from buying this coin than I had up to that point. I started to learn about the different styles of the different mints and being able to identify a coin based on style alone rather than relying on RIC, legends etc.. The fact that this coin doesn&#039;t have any mint marks forced me down that route. I had several years of fun triggered by this one coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Obv:– IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG, Radiate bust left in imperial mantle, holding sceptre surmounted by eagle</p><p>Rev:– SOLI INVICTO, Sol in spread quadriga</p><p>Minted in Siscia (No marks). Emission 2. A.D. 277.</p><p>Reference:– RIC 776 var Bust type H (not listed in RIC without field marks). Alföldi type 73, n° 30</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/normal_RI_132ko_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
