PROBUS CLEMENTIA TEMP 3rd EMMISSION 6th OFFICINA another example
OBVERSE: IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG
REVERSE: CLEMENTIA TEMP
BUST TYPE: A2 = Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from rear
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: ζ•//XXI
EMMISSION: 3
WEIGHT 4.14g / AXIS: 12h / WIDTH 20mm
MINT: 4th unspecified oriental mint
RIC 922
COLLECTION NO. 889

Attribution of this coin to the 4th unspecified oriental mint instead of Antiochia (as in RIC V.II) is based on the article by S. Estiot, "L’Empereur et l’usurpateur: un 4e atelier oriental sous Probus"; Studies in ancient coinage in honor of Anndrew Burnett, Spink, London, 2015.

Note: On this coin the cursive digamma (symbol of the 6th officina) looks very "oriental" as opposed my coin no. 705 where the cursive digamma look almost like a latin "S".

Provenance:  Jesus Vico Room Auction 147 lot 134 (group lot) = ex Giovanni Dattari collection
Keywords: PROBUS
