ALFOLDI 005.042 laureal wreath on cuirass 
OBVERSE: IMP C PROBVS P F AVG
 REVERSE: ADVENTVS AVG
 BUST TYPE: F1 = radiate, cuirassed bust left, holding spear and shield
 FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: -/-//XXIP
 WEIGHT 3.45g / AXIS: 5h / DIAMETER: 20-21mm
 RIC 626
 ALFOLDI 005.042 (but Alfoldi does not mention any cuirass decorations) 
 COLLECTION NO. 772

Note: extremely rare cuirass decoration in the form of a laurel wreath (probably corona triumphalis). In the coinage of Probus such laurel wreath is typically represented only on consular robe (toga picta + tunica palmata) not on cuirass. Apparently only the second known specimen of such cuirass decoration!
