<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3183349, member: 97383"]Jay GT4, your radiate with <b>SOL INVICTO</b> & Bing's form an interesting comparison. Both coins depict Probus pretty much the same way, however, the reverse of both coins depict <b>SOL INVICTO</b> in dramatically different ways. The composition on your coins reverse is one of creative genius, designed & executed with unusual mastery for the period. There is an explosion of energy on your coins reverse giving the illusion that <b>SOL INVICTO </b>in his chariot is leaping out of the coin & ready to run you over. The reverse on Bing's coin draws back to the Republican period denarii, so popular & used over & over again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
