This coin is interesting for 3 reasons.

First, for its rare ad desirable consular obverse legend, celebrating Probus' second consulhip (CONS II)

Second, for the wide wreath ties of the corona radiata (rare variant; usually the wreath ties are joined together)

Third, the God SOL is facing the viewer instead looking left as usual.

Extremely rare.
