<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2747551, member: 31620&quot;]I spent a period actively collecting the output of Probus from Alexandria and reached the stage where I was left with searching for scarcer and scarcer types e.g. Emperor on horseback. I haven&#039;t added any for about two years now. If all you want is one or two examples then these are plentiful and generally cheap enough to make them attainable to most budgets. If you want a more detailed collection with variants as per Milne (relative position of regnal year to L for example, or obverse legend break)then this will take much more time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your Year 3 Eirene is much nicer than mine.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/normal_GI_132al_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have a couple of year 4 examples that show how the regnal year position can change the attribution</p><p><br /></p><p>Milne 4575 (L D).
