COLLECTION NO. 1314
Extremely rare and desirable reverse type highlighting the close connection of Probus to Siscia ("Nostri" = "our" Emperor), struck only during the second emmission at Siscia.
This coin is most likely a re-strike of a coin with much silver content of one of the emperors from the mid III century A.D.
Provenance: Paul Francis Jacquier auction 45 lot 1522 = ex Philippe Gysen collection = Ex Sternberg Auction 25 (1991) lot 434
This is only the 5th specimen of this exact type known to me!
