4.
OBVERSE: IMP C M AVR POBVS P F AVG (sic!)
REVERSE: SOLI INVICTO
BUST TYPE: H2 = Radiate bust left in imperial mantle (toga picta and tunica palmata), holding eagle-tipped sceptre (scipio)
MINT: Serdica
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: -/-//A
WEIGHT 3.75g / DIAMETER: 22 mm
RIC 861 var. (unlisted with A only in exergue)
COLLECTION NO. 1351

Note: A coin with a spectacular error in the obverse legend: POBVS (instead of PROBVS). Not only is this the only example of this specific type known to me, but it is - to my knowledge - the only example of such an error in Emperor's name in the whole coinage of Probus. UNICUM!

The coin is part of the very rare and brief A-Delta (without the KA mintmark) first phase of Serdica's 3rd emmission unlisted by RIC as well as by Pink. Although the exergue is barely legible, under a magnifying glass I see an "A" there rather than a Delta. Nevertheless I will have the coin cleaned which hopefully will make the exergue more legible.

Unique and of the highest numismatic interest. The coin joins another interesting unicum with an erroneous obverse legend in my collection: PRBVS instead of PROBVS - see my coin no. 21 from Siscia.

So great

Merci!

pour le partage de toutes ces raretés. Pour la n°4 de Serdica, tu es sûr du A à l'exergue, ça pourrait être Δ, ou rien?

Un buste (drapé!) fantastique pour le n°11, est-ce qu'il existe pour d'autres ateliers que Serdica?

I am not 100% sure it is an "A" because of the relatively poor state of preservation of the exergue which is not easily legible. However, under a magnifying glass there clearly is a letter in the exergue (so we can exclude the possible variant with nothing in the exergue) and the shape of this letter does look more lika an "A" rather than Delta. So I would uphold my attribution to officina "A" with a 85-90% degree of certainty (leaving only circa 15%-10% probability for Delta).

By the way, S. Estiot had a look at the photo of this coin and did not question the attribution of the coin to officina "A" in the below thread:

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=116769.0

As for the I8 var. (draped) bust, no other mints than Serdica struck such bust under Probus to the best of my knowledge. Relatively similar busts were struck by Siscia and Rome, but they were cuirassed only, not draped (and had some additional minor differences):

Vraiment un buste exceptionnel! Félicitations

Pour la SOLI INVICTO, je suis d’accord, le A est plus probable. C’est bizarre, à l’avers le graveur a respecté un espace suffisant pour deux lettres.
Dommage que S. Estiot n’ait pas posté la version à titulature correcte du trésor de Petrijanek.

Vive POBVS, vive BANABA!!!
