Lot description
Grade: XF+
Reference: RIC 527

Very rare and desirable legend with INVICTVS (invincible) title. Aurelian was the first Roman emperor to introduce the INVICTVS title in regular coinage. Probus later borrowed this title and used it quite frequently in his own coinage. 

THIS COIN IS PART OF THE CODED EQVITI SERIES (see the letter "I" in right field which is the 6th lettter in the 6-letter EQVITI phrase. This coin was struck by the 6th officina, i.e. officina "VI"; there were 6 officinae at Ticinum mint at that time; each one struck a different reverse with a different letter from the EQVITI code). For more information about the (A)EQVITI series see the below excellent article by Gert Boersema:
