NOTE: extremely rare and desirable abbreviated VIRT PROBI AVG reverse legend (instead of the full VIRTVS PROBI AVG legend). This legend was first published by Ph. Gysen in 2000 in the article: Nouvelles données concernant l'atelier de Serdica sous le règne de Probus.
Currently only 23 specimens of this reverse legend are known (information from Ph. Gysen). My specimen is however the only one from officina delta and the only one to have the scarce IMP C M AVR PROBVS PIVS AVG obverse legend. Therefore it is a true unicum and of the highest numismatic interest!Barnaba6

Adventvs Probi Avg is a rare reverse type for Serdica in itself but in combination with the sole "A" mintmark from an unpublished, exceedingly rare greek letter phase of the 3rd emmission makes this coin it a true gem!Barnaba6

Note: Adventvs Probi Avg and Soli Invicto series without any mintmarks are rare and desirable. They were struck in Cyzicus, Serdica, Siscia, Rome and Lugdunum and were distributed as part of the imperial donativa during the Emperor's Adventvs (visit) to these cities. Attribution of these coins to a particular mint - due to lack of any mintmarks - is done on the basis of careful analysis of their style.

COLLECTION NO. 1549
Only the 3rd example of this exact type known to me (the other being in S. Luethi collection = ex. M. Griffiths coll. and in J. Gesa Kiss coll.)!
NOTE: the Emperor is holding a small, round shield (Parma shield). This type of shield is eagerly sought-after by collectors. It was struck only in the mints of Ticinum, Siscia, Serdica and Cyzicus. While this type of shield is rare on Siscia and Serdica coins it is extremely rare on Ticinum and Cyzicus coins.
As for Serdica, specimens with the Clementia Temp reverse and Parma shield (struck during issue 2) are much, much rarer than same specimens with Parma shield and SOLI INVICTO / VIRTVS PROBI AVG reverses struck during issue 4. Barnaba6

COLLECTION NO. 1544
Note: Adventvs Probi Avg and Soli Invicto series without any mintmarks are rare and desirable. They were struck in Cyzicus, Serdica, Siscia, Rome and Lugdunum and were distributed as part of the imperial donativa during the Emperor's Adventvs (visit) to these cities. Attribution of these coins to a particular mint - due to lack of any mintmarks - is done on the basis of careful analysis of their style.

REVERSE: SOLI INVICTO
BUST TYPE: H2 = Radiate bust left in imperial mantle (toga picta and tunica palmata), holding eagle-tipped sceptre (scipio)
MINT: Serdica
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: -/-//A
WEIGHT 3.75g / DIAMETER: 22 mm
RIC 861 var. (unlisted with A only in exergue)
COLLECTION NO. 1351
Note: A coin with a spectacular error in the obverse legend: POBVS (instead of PROBVS). Not only is this the only example of this specific type known to me, but it is - to my knowledge - the only example of such an error in Emperor's name in the whole coinage of Probus.
The coin is part of the very rare and brief A-Delta (without the KA mintmark) first phase of Serdica's 3rd emmission unlisted by RIC as well as by Pink. Although the exergue is barely legible, under a magnifying glass I see an "A" there rather than a Delta. Nevertheless I will have the coin cleaned which hopefully will make the exergue more legible.
Unique and of the highest numismatic interest. The coin joins another interesting unicum with an erroneous obverse legend in my collection: PRBVS instead of PROBVS - see my coin no. 21 from Siscia. Barnaba6
