ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 06/20/2020 4:25 pm Thanks @Palouche! The reverse has some gunk on it, but I'm glad you could determine what it says. Do you have any of the denomination, grade, or possible value (if the gunk was removed)? Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3445 Posts	Posted 06/22/2020 6:07 pm One of my first purchases a long time ago The Sear description was simply Billon Antoninianus Emperor Probus Rv Emperor on horseback slaying barbarian Not a common type but not extremely rare either Yours is a bit corroded and any conservation would be of limited help to it It might fetch $10 on ebay but not very much more Good coin to start your new Probus collection around Report this Post to the Staff
