Probus95 viewsObverse: IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG
Reverse: CALLIOPE AVG
Bust: Radiate bust left in cosular robe, holding scipio
Field/exergue: -/-//-
Weight: 3,79 g
Note: The coin seems struck.
While the obverse seems genuine the style of the reverse (both of the Muse as well as of the lettering) is completely off and has nothing in common with the original. Also, this type has never been recorded with the long IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG obverse legend but only with the legend IMP PROBVS P F AVG. Barnaba6Apr 06, 2018
