<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 24703242, member: 31620&quot;]I specialise in Probus and particularly his coinage from Lugdunum. Here is an example of a small selection of how I collect. </p><p><br /></p><p>The following are just a sample of a single reverse type (TEMPOR FELICI) from the 6th Emission (Bastien).</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv:– IMP C PROBVS P • F • AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev:– TEMPOR FELICI, Felicitas standing right, holding caduceus and cornucopiae</p><p>Minted in Lugdunum (I) Emission 6 Officina 1.
