Probus Cyzicus SOLI INVICTO
Obverse: IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG
Reverse: SO - LI INVICT - O
Emission: 3
Officina: 6
Bust type: H2 = Radiate bust left in consular robe, holding eagle-tipped sceptre (Scipio)
Exergue marks: CM // XXI Ћ
Literature: RIC 911
Note: The use of the numeral Ⴌ Attic to designate the 6th officina of Cyzicus is quite intriguing. Although it can be found in lapidary inscriptions, its appearance in coins is unique. Apparently also unique to the reign of Probus
