<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2714793, member: 31620&quot;]This isn&#039;t easy because I have so many bad coins. This one has to be up there though.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Probus&nbsp; </b></p><p>Obv:– IMP C PROBVS AVG, Radiate cuirassed bust left with spear over right shoulder</p><p>Rev:– TEMPOR FELICIT, Felicitas standing right, holding caduceus and cornucopiae</p><p>Minted in Lugdunum (II in exe) Emission 8 Officina 2. Autumn to Late A.D. 281</p><p>Reference:– Cohen -. Bastien -. RIC 108 (Rare)</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a rare reverse type for Probus from Lugdunum. Bastien didn&#039;t find any examples when compiling his reference on the coinage though he must have overlooked the example in RIC from the Webb collection which I believe ended up in the BM. This coin is an obverse die match to the plate coin in RIC and would appear to be the second known example of this bust type for Probus from Lugdunum. And it is <b>UGLY</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI%20132pf%20img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
