Lot description Show orginal version
Grade: VF+
Reference: RIC 776 var. (unlisted with A//XXI mintmark) ALFOLDI 074.003 (6 ex. cited)

Sol was the favorite and most frequently depicted God of the Roman pantheon in Probus' coinage. There are numerous variants of reverses with Sol; however the depiction of Sol in quadriga (left or central/spread) remains undoubtedly an iconic, classis reverse for Probus . This reverse type was struck in Lugdunum, Rome, Ticinum, Siscia, Serdica and Kyzikos mints, with each mint having its unique style. This paticular variant with bigh quadriga wheels is very rare.

Reverse: SOLI INVICTO / A / XXI

Sol in spread quadriga, holding whip, globe and raising hand.

Bilon, diameter 20,2 mm, weight 3,83 g.
