maridvnvm Posted April 21, 2023 · Member Share Posted April 21, 2023 Back in January I posted about a recent addition to my Probus collection:- https://www.numisforums.com/topic/2119-probus-lugdunum-mars-victor-ric-82-bust-type-g I have since been able to add another coin to Probus, Lugdunum collection with another Emission 5 example. This time another Bust Type G but with Attic helmet..... Obv:– IMP C M AVR PROBVS AVG, . Pseudo-Attic helmet. Cuirass with balteus. Shield with sinuous & riveted rim; decorated with a rider right (looks like emperor spearing fallen captive). Spearshaft only Rev:– TEMPOR FELICI, Felicitas standing right, holding caduceus and cornucopiae Minted in Lugdunum (//I) Emission 5 Officina 1. End A.D. 277 to Early A.D. 278 Reference(s) – Bastien 206 (9). RIC 103 Bust Type G. 4.06g, 22.55mm, 0o I have sometimes gone for years between adding coins to this emission in my collection. This is a good year thus far. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotwheelsearl Posted April 21, 2023 · Member Share Posted April 21, 2023 Dang, once Probus gets something interesting on the shield the price goes WAY up... Saw one on a recent Roma auction that sold for $500, I think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
