I know it is yet another Pribus Tet. but at least this time it isn&#039;t another eagle.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is my most recent purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Probus, Billon tetradrachm</b></p><p><b>&nbsp;</b> Obv:– A K M AVR PROBOC CEB, Laureate draped bust right</p><p>Rev:– None, Bust of Serapis right</p><p>Minted in Alexandria Egypt.
