Provenance: ex Philppe Gysen collection
Only the 2nd specimen of this exact type known (the other being Helios Auction 5, June 2010, lot 420 posted also on WILDWINDS under RIC 417).
Well struck, with great details and most original silvering remaining.
One of the finest known examples of this reverse type. One of the highlights of my Probus collection!
The last auction listing of another example with this reverse type (but different bust) in a comparable excellent condition is Kunker auction 273 lot 918 (2,000 EURO + buyer's premium):
Collection : 04 Probus - Ticinum
