Roman Empire, Probus, Antonininan Siscia

Note: very interesting variant of military bust with Pegasus right above undulating ground on shield and XXIP mintmark in exergue (instead of greek mark 'A' which was typical for Siscia's 2nd and 3rd emmissions).

This coin is unlisted in Alfoldi and is only the 2nd example of this (exact) type known (the other being in M. Vosper's collection)

REVERSE: ADVENTVS PROBI AVG
