NOTE: Very rare and desirable shield decorated with floret. Characteristic large disc typical of Ticinum for the 3rd issue commemorating the victorious campaign of Probus against the Germans in 277-278 AD. Very rare issue with a star in the reverse field. Probably the 3rd known example of this exact variety and definitely the best of the three!
