COLLECTION NO. 184
Note: rare and desirable reverse type struck only at Siscia during the famous 2nd emmission, i.e. the INVICTVS series with the abbrevated INV title in the obverse legend. The reverse legend underlines the close links of Siscia where this coin was struk with Probus, referring to the emperor as N[oster] = "our" emperor.
A magnificent example with stunning details and most original silevring remaining. One of the finest known examples of this type!
