Roman Empire, Probus, Antoninian, Ticinum - unlisted in RIC

Rare and desirable reverse type in combination with the unlisted in RIC full RESTITVTOR SAEC spelling variant (much, much rarer that the abbreviated RESTITVT SAEC variant).

This coin was struck at the very begininng of the 2nd emmission because the portrait of the emperor is still very much Florian-like!

Obverse: Radiate, cuirassed and draped bust right, seen from back, legend:
IMP C M AVR PROBVS AVG;

Reverse: Emperor standing left, holding globe and sceptre, crowned by Victory holding palm, legend:
RESTITVTOR SAEC; In exergue VIXXT

Silver, diameter 23 mm, weight 3,61 g, axis 6 h.

From the collection of a true connoisseur of Probus' coinage
