<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 25953164, member: 31620&quot;]The Radiate bust with an imperial mantle, holding eagle tipped sceptre is a common type for most mints under Probus but is very scarce for some reason at Lugdunum. I have a collection focussing on the coinage of Probus from Lugdunum and had set the adding of one of these bust types to my collection as a very long term target and class it as one of my &quot;holy grail&quot; coins. I was lucky enough to obtain an example, which has just arrived and is a nice way for me to close out 2024.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probus Antoninianus</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG, Radiate bust left in imperial mantle, holding sceptre surmounted by eagle</p><p>Rev:– TEMPOR FELICI, Felicitas standing right, holding caduceus and cornucopiae</p><p>Minted in Lugdunum (//I) Emission 5 Officina 1.
