roman probus coin
« on: June 27, 2016, 02:12:39 pm »
Hello
Can you help me identify this coin?
The revers looks like this one:http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/probus/RIC_0711,Q.jpg (RIC 711 Q)
But the obverse is different, I think it say : IMP PROBVS PF AVG.
3.35 grams and 24 mm.
Thank you

Quadrans - what am I missing...  I was thinking it was 712.

RIC 712; Alföldi type 42, n° 86; Siscia. Bust type F. Denomination: Antoninianus..

OBV.: IMP C PROBVS P F AVG
Radiate, cuirassed bust right.

REV.: PAX AVGVSTI

Pax standing left, holding olive-branch and sceptre.

Mintmark: In right field Q / XXI


What is the difference between the 2????
