Commentary
Sans Argrenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges à peine visibles sous le paludamentum. Titutalure exceptionnelle pour le règne de Probus frappée lors de la deuxième émission de l’atelier de Serdica copiée directement sur celle d’Aurélien (cf. MONNAIES XXI, n° 3297). C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type d’aurelianus à la vente qui semble de la plus grande rareté.
Without superficial silvering. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Pteryges barely visible under the paludamentum. Exceptional titutalure for the reign of Probus struck during the second issue of the Serdica mint copied directly from that of Aurelian (see COINS XXI, no. 3297). This is the first time that we offer this type of aurelianus for sale, which seems to be of the greatest rarity.

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.
