A rare and sought-after dated title (CONS IIII) This coin is part of the famous EQVITI coded series from the 10th Ticinum issue, characterized by the inclusion of a letter corresponding to the mint's number and an asterisk in the field. The Ticinum mint had six mints during Probus's time; each minted a different reverse with a different letter from the EQVITI code.
