I have another coin of Emperor Probus:

A-Coin-Of-Emperor-Probus

I was trying to read the reverse and all I got is VICTORIA. So, as it was sugested to me, I looked this page:
http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/probus/i.html
Unfortunately I was not able to find my coin :(
Does anyone know what is the inscription on the back of the coin?
P.S.
The front side is blury because my hands where not still. The inscription on the front side is "IMP PROBVS INV AVG".

Can you take a clearer picture? Can you make out the letters after Victoria (victory)

The reverse is VICTORIA AVG N

The 'N' is an abbreviation of Noble or 'Noster' meaning 'our'.

Its slightly rarer than the VICTORIA GERM types that celebrate victories in Germanica.

It was probably minted in Siscia (Modern day Sisak in Croatia) or Ticinum (N Italy).

It is not 100% know what 'XXI' means - some think its simply a mintmark while others think it refers to a ratio (XXI - 20 to 1) of the metals used in the coin.

Here are a couple of interesting pages on the subject:
