Minted in Ticinum (VIXXT in exe) Early Emission 2, Officina 6.

This is a coin from the very beginning of the second emission of Ticinum (276 CE), before the portrait transitions to Probus proper. Coins from the later part of the emission and already much less Tacitus/Florian in likeness, while not quite 100% Probus himself. The style is typical for that period, but these coins are scarce, so you do not see them often. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
