[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 2967088, member: 31620"]Lugdunum had 9 emissions. The last of which used A, B, C and D in the fields as officina identifiers. The following coin is the only reverse die coin of Probus that uses these letters but in exe. and is likely to be the most mature portrait of Probus from Lugdunum. I believe it to be one of only five examples known all from the same die pair.
