<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 8088418, member: 84905&quot;]I have a surprisingly small and light Probus Antoninian. It is the coin, first row on the right with the consular bust. The coins were photographed together, so they show the correct relative size.</p><p>Measurements:</p><p>The coin on the left: 3.93 g, 22mm</p><p>The coin on the right: 2.45g, 19mm</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1405511[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have chosen the coin on the right, because it has a normal sized flan without excess metal and because it has the same reverse image.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin on the left: legend is unbroken, the temple is quite big</p><p>Coin on the right: the legend is broken and shortened and the temple is squeezed together.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1405512[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a comparison of the obverse design with the same design from the same mint.</p><p>Coin on the left: large bust, long sceptre</p><p>Coin on the right: small bust, short sceptre</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1405513[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it possible, that the coin on the right was not intended as an Antoninianus (despite the radiate crown) but as a Denarius?
