Extremely rare and desirable obverse legend with the PERPETVO title ("perpetual"). Probus was the only roman emperor to use this title in the whole Roman coinage; the only other analogy in Roman coinage would be the Dictator Perpetuo title bestowed upon Julius Ceasar in the year 44 BCE.
Apparently only the 3rd example known.
