Lot description
Grade: VF+/XF-
Reference: RIC 703, Alfoldi 040.001

Very rare and desirable reverse type with the classic roman theme depicting she-wolf feeding Romulus and Remus however with the most unusual inscription ORIGINI AVG,  which is unique in the whole roman coinage. This reverse either underlines the close link of Probus with Siscia (where the coin was struck) or perhaps Probus' noble, ancestral, roman origins (for propaganda purposes; in fact Probus had rather humble family origins). 

Obverse: IMP C PROBVS P F AVG
Reverse: ORIGINI AVG = she-wolf feeding Romulus and Remus
BUST TYPE: B = radiate, cuirassed bust right, 
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: -/-//XXIT
WEIGHT 2.83g / AXIS: 6h / DIAMETER: 19-22mm
