Lot description Show orginal version
Grade: XF
Reference: RIC 776, Alfoldi 073.044 (2 ex. cited)

Obverse: IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG

Radiate bust left in imperial mantle, holding eagle-tipped sceptre (scipio).

Reverse: SOLI INVICTO / XXIζ

Sol in spread quadriga, holding whip and globe in left hand, right hand raised; clouds underneath the quadriga.

Bilon, diameter 21,4 x 22,1 mm, weight 3,84 g. 

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. Mint condition with full original silvering and mint luster and absolutely stunning details. Exceedingly rare in such an exceptional state! One of the best preserved Probus coins of this collection.
