Commentary
Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges à peine visibles sous le paludamentum. Légende ponctuée au droit (gros points). Au revers, l’Espérance semble penchée en arrière. Pierre Bastien n’avait relevé que neuf exemplaires en 1976. C’est le treizième exemplaire recensé. Nous n’avons pas relevé d’identité de coin pertinente.
With all of its surface silvering. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Pteryges barely visible under the paludamentum. Punctuated legend on the obverse (large dots). On the reverse, Hope appears to be leaning backward. Pierre Bastien only noted nine examples in 1976. This is the thirteenth example recorded. We have not noted any relevant die identity.

Historical background
PROBUS
(06-07/276-09/282)
Probus was born on August 19, 232 in Sirmium. He led a brilliant military career during the reigns between Valerian I and Tacitus. Commander of the army of the East on the death of Tacitus, he was immediately proclaimed emperor and easily triumphed over Florian, who was assassinated. The situation is serious. The Rhine-Danubian limes gave way under the pressure of the Germanic invasions. Probus restores peace in Gaul, in Germania then in Rhaetia where he inflicts a severe defeat on the Germanic peoples, in Thrace where he crushes the Sarmatians and the Scythians, in Asia Minor which he cleans of looters and Pamphylian pirates, finally in Africa where he ends the incursions of the Blemmyes. In 280, he signed peace with Vahram II, Sassanid monarch. He must face the usurpations of Saturnin, Bonose and Proculus. Probus, having triumphed over all his adversaries, returned to Rome in 281 and celebrated his victories. Before preparing a new expedition against the Sassanids, he fell under the blows of his own soldiers at Sirmium in 282.
