WEIGHT: 4,22 g / AXIS: 12h / DIAMETER: 22-24mm
RIC: 463
COLLECTION NO. 1560
Note: Extremely rare and desirable reverse type struck only at Ticinum during the third issue in 277 AD celebrating Probus' victorious campaign against the Alamans and Juthungs. This VOTIS reverse variant is much, much rarer than the (also rare and very desirable) VOTIS X ET XX FEL reverse type.
What is more, my coin has a military E1 bust, whereas all the remaining six known to me specimens of this reverse type have a H2 consular bust (of which 2 ex. are in La Venera hoard, 1 ex. is in the American Numismatic Society coll. and and 3 specimens are in private collections).
Although Sylviane Estiot cites 4 examples of this exact type (with E1 bust) in her 2006 article "Une campagne germanique de l’empereur Probus : l’atelier de Ticinum en 277-278" I have never seen this exact type on the market before neither have I ever seen pictures of this exact type anywhere online.
It appears to be only the 5th known example of this exact type and apparently the only one in private collection and the only one whose picture is now publicly available.
A coin of the highest numismatic interest. One of the highlights of my Probus collection! Barnaba6

This coin is part of the extremely rare and sought-after coded AEQVIT series (issue 7 according to Pink's classification), which is many, many times rarer than the popular EQVITI series (issues 8, 9 and 10 according to Pink's classification).
The code consists of the consecutive letters of the word AEQVIT placed in the left field by the six workshops (officinae) operating at Ticinum under Probus. Each workshop placed only one specific letter assigned to it. This coin - with the letter "Q" in the left field (i.e. third letter of the code) - was struct by the third officina (officina "T").Barnaba6

WEIGHT: 3,25 g / AXIS: 12h / DIAMETER: 23,5 mm
RIC: 454
COLLECTION NO. 1407
NOTE: spectacular, extremely rare and desirable reverse type struck only at Ticinum during the 3rd emmission (after Probus' successful military campaign in Germania) in combination with an interesting military bust with shield decorated with floret. Despite the flan crack a true gem and coin of the highest rarity and numismatic interest!
Only the 3rd example of this exact type known to me (the remaining two are listed by S. Estiot in her 2006 article on the 3rd emmission of Ticinum under Probus "Une campagne germanique de l’empereur Probus : l’atelier de Ticinum en 277-278").Barnaba6
