<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 7731054, member: 31620&quot;]I have not owned many coins of Nerva. I bought this one because I like the style of the portrait.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_038b_img~0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I have several year 1 coins from a few emperors but have chosen this Probus coin to illustrate here. The initial issue for Probus from Lugdunum re-used the reverse types from the last issue of Tacitus at the mint. This coin also has one of the scarcer spelling errors from this mint, missing the V from AVR.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probus Antoninianus</p><p>Obv:– IMP C M AR(sic) PROBVS AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:– TEMPORVM FELICITAS, Felicitas standing right, holding caduceus and cornucopiae</p><p>Minted in Lugdunum (I) Emission 1, Officina 1.
