Probus - Lugdunum - ABVNDANTIA AVG I
« on: March 27, 2021, 02:34:54 pm »
I have just added this reverse legend variation to my Probus Lugdunum collection.

Obv:– IMP C PROBVS P F AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right
Rev:– ABVNDANTIA AVG I, Abundatia, standing right, empting cornucopiae
Minted in Lugdunum (IIII in exe) Emission 4 Officina 4. Middle to End A.D. 277
Reference:– Cohen -. Bastien -. RIC 17 Bust type F var (reverse legend)

3.62 g. 23.64 mm. 0 degrees

I cannot find any other examples in Bastien or either supplement with this odd addition to the reverse legend.

As mentioned on another forum I have never seen this variant before. It's unpublished.

It's worth contacting Sylviane Estiot regarding this coin. I sincerely doubt anyone else will be able to contribute anything meaningful in this subject.

Anyway, congrats again. Great catch!

Hi Barbaba,
I emailed Dr. Estiot when the coin arrived as I do whenever I think there is samething that i find that might be of some interest to her.

Thanks everyone.

Dr. Estiot has confirmed that this variation was previously unknown to her.
