REVERSE: VIRTVS PROBI AVG (VIR-2)
BUST TYPE: E1 = Radiate, cuirassed and helmeted bust left, holding shield and spear

RIC 884 VAR. (KAΔ MINTMARK UNLISTED)
COLLECTION NO. 1223

Note: scarcer variety of the VIRTVS PROBI AVG legend where the enemy's legs are stretched (instead of knealing, as usual) and there is no exergual line (VIR-2 in Ph. Gysen's classification).

The only specimen of this type known to me.

See also my coin no. 1455 with the same obverse legend, officina and bust but with the VIR-1 variant of the Virtvs Probi Avg reverse.
