A nice, clearly legible example of this issue.
Sol was the favorite and most frequently depicted god of the Roman pantheon in Probus’s coinage. There are many variants of Sol obverses (with various legends), but the depiction of Sol in a quadriga (facing left or straight ahead) remains an iconic, even classic, obverse for Probus’s coinage. This type of reverse was struck at the mints in Lugdunum, Rome, Ticinum, Siscia, Serdica, and Kyzikos, with each mint having its own unique style.
Obverse: a bust of the emperor wearing a radiate crown and consular toga, holding a scipio, facing left; the legend in the rim reads:“
” IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG;
Reverse: Sol in a quadriga facing forward, holding his hand in a gesture of greeting and a whip; the legend around the rim reads:
SOLI INVICTO, with the segment KA•Gamma•;
