MINT: 4th, unspecified oriental mint
RIC 922
COLLECTION NO. 705

Attribution of this coin to the 4th unspecified oriental mint instead of Antiochia (as in RIC V.II) is based on the article by S. Estiot, "L’Empereur et l’usurpateur: un 4e atelier oriental sous Probus"; Studies in ancient coinage in honor of Anndrew Burnett, Spink, London, 2015.

Note: On this coin the cursive digamma (symbol of the 6th officina) looks almost like a latin "S", contrary to my coin no. 889 where the cursive digamma is struck completely differently
