PROBUS RIC 912 CORR. OFFICINA 2
|
OBVERSE: IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG
REVERSE: VIRTVS PROBI AVG (VIR-1)
BUST TYPE: E1 = Radiate, cuirassed and helmeted bust left, holding spear and shield (decorated with Gorgoneion)
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: S//XXIMC
WEIGHT 3.41g / AXIS: 12h / DIAMETER: 21-22mm
MINT: Cyzicus
RIC 912 CORR. [RIC erroneously cites Cohen 918 (consular bust), instead of Cohen 919 (helmeted, with shield and spear). In reality this reverse type only exists with the latter, military bust]
COLLECTION NO. 1342
Note: extremely rare and sought-after by collectors reverse type with Emperor on horse spearing knealing enemy (VIR-1 in Gysen's classification). This is by far the rarest and most interesting reverse type among the (limited) reverses struct at Cyzicus under Probus (though the same reverse type is quite common at Serdica).
Provenance: Paul Francis Jacquier Auction 45 lot 1733 = Ph. Gysen collection
THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE FROM OFFICINA "S" KNOWN TO ME!!!
