Mnie też znowu przybyło ciekawych Probusów:
1.
OBVERSE: IMP C PROBVS AVG CONS II
REVERSE: VIRTVS AVG (emperor on horse spearing knealing enemy)
BUST TYPE: H2 = Radiate bust left in consular robe, holding eagle-tipped sceptre (scipio)
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: -/-//QXXT
WEIGHT 3.82g / AXIS: 12h / WIDTH: 23-25mm
RIC: 449 VAR. (QXXT MINTMARK UNLISTED)
COLLECTION NO. 1194
Ex. S. Luethi collection
Extremely rare and desirable reverse type in combination with a scarce and desirable consular obverse legend. A coin of the highest numismatic interest!
The only specimen of this type known to me (I know of another similar specimen from officina QXXT from E.Raes collection but with a different placement of the enemy)
2.
OBVERSE: VIRTVS PROBI AVG
REVERSE: PAX AVG
BUST TYPE: C = radiate, cuirassed and helmeted bust right without weapons
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: E/-//-
WEIGHT: 2.74g / AXIS: 12h / DIAMETER: 19,5-22mm
RIC: 548 VAR. (UNLISTED WITH C BUST AND -/E//- MINTMARK)
COLLECTION NO. 1210
Extremely rare and desirable bust type !!!
This coin is part of the scarce first phase of Ticinum’s 6th emission (according to Pink’s emission classification) with greek numerals of officinae not accompanied by the XXI monetary reform mark. In the much more common and abundant second phase of 6th emission the greek numerals were followed by the XXI mark in the exergue.
The only example of this type known to me. Possibly an unicum!
