Very rare variant of this otherwise popular reverse type (Alfoldi reverse type 6) in which there is additionally a captive at horse's feet (which is not depicted on the standard ADVENTVS AVG reverse struck at Siscia - see Alfoldi type 5 - contrary to the Adventvs Probi Avg reverse, on which the captive is always present).
This coin is not listed in Alfoldi for E1 bust and XXIP officina. A true unpublished unicum of the highest numismatic interest!

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").Barnaba6Dec 01, 2019
