<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 3091094, member: 31620&quot;]I used to specialise in the coins of Probus. In fact it could have been considered hoarding as I seemed to but just about any probus coin that I could lay my hands on. Over time I tried to be more discerning and now my Probus addiction is down to just a few coins a year rather than a dozen a week as it once was. This is my first Probus of the year.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Probus Antonianus</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:–VIRTVS PROBI AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust left, with spear</p><p>Rev:– PROVIDENT AVG, Providentia standing left, holding globe and sceptre</p><p>Minted in Siscia (_ | Q / XXI). 7th emission, A.D. 280</p><p>Reference:– RIC 722 var. (Unlisted bust type in RIC). This bust type is unlisted in Alföldi on for Table XXVIII, Type 53 as is this officina. As such it would appear to be quite a scarce coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.93 gms.21.61 mm. 180 degrees. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_132ya_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
