    I'm pretty sure this is a Probus, especially since the reverse is a match for another known Probus of mine. I just wanted to make sure before I file it away in the wrong category.

    AE Antoninianus
    Obv: radiate head right
    Rev: Jupiter handing of globe to emperor
    Diameter: oblong, 21x18mm

    You can just make out IMP AVR on the left of the obverse. I agree with @maridvnvm that it is most likely Aurelian.

    I can see the Aurelian legend on the obverse.

    After going through Wildwinds I have confirmed that this is, in fact Aurelian.

    Thanks for all of your help!
