Crispus issued occasional types with the Crispo legend - I have no idea why. No one else seemed to do such things. Perhaps its a conjugation.

DN CRISPO NOB CAES is a common obverse legend for Crispus.

Nice, I don't know how common these are. I've not ever come across one.

Not seen one before! I wish sellers would show both sides of the coin. And I also wish that they would not use the words "rare" and "unidentified" in the same sentence. Rant over :)

Probus used PROBVS, PROBI and PROBO.

Wow! Not seen any of those either. Been through wildwinds and there are loads of CRISPOs.

Ive seen a PROBI before, but never a CONSTANTINO (and my pockets arent deep enough to have seen a HANNIBALLIANO).
I think Carausius also had a similar legend - I know there was a VIRTVS CARAVSI and a PAX CARAVSI, perhaps theres also an O ending.

I have been collecting a little over a year now, the main thing I have learned is that I know virtually nothing:)

I have a PROBI AND CONSTANTINO, but not one of these. Might make for a good subset to collect.

One of my PROBO - PERPETVO IMP C PROBO AVG  Divus coins are also a good source ending in "O"  |

Now I have a CRISPO!
I had to go and check my Probus quadriga, unfortunately it has the normal legend :) Your coins are stunning Maridvnvm.
