[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 5426354, member: 99456"]CT members are likely well aware of a series of coins for Probus with a hidden message. I first learned of this series from Doug Smith's page, [URL='https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/equiti.html']EQVITI Coins of Probus[/URL]. It was a while ago, I might have still been using a dial-up modem to connect to the internet. The series was published in 1873 by Missong, A. (1873) [URL='https://archive.org/details/numismatischezei05stuoft/page/102/mode/2up']"Gleichartig systemisirte Münzreihen unter Kaiser Probus[/URL]", Numismatische Zeitschrift (1873), Wien, p.102-115. [ATTACH=full]1235675[/ATTACH] With the arrival last weekend of a SALVS AVG coin -to fill the 3rd position - I have completed a set with all the letters. [ATTACH=full]1235256[/ATTACH] I am still on the hunt for coins with "Q" and "*" and "E" and "*" to have a set from one consistent type. I've posted a longer writeup to my [URL='https://www.sullacoins.com/post/eqviti-coins-of-probus']Notes[/URL] - with a "VIRTVS EQVIT" coin of Postumus struck by Areolus in Milan. For an thorough discussion of the various thoughts on why these letters are there - see this page on forumancientcoins from [URL='https://www.forumancientcoins.com/NumisWiki/view.asp?key=Codeword'][U]Gert Boersema[/U][/URL].
