COLLECTION NO. 1315
Extremely rare and desirable reverse type struck only during the second emmission at Siscia (the famous Invictvs series with INV[ictvs] title in obverse legend), celebrating Probus as the restorer of the Illyricum Province.
One of the most sought-after reverses in the whole Probus' coinage; a highlight of this specialized Probus collection!
