?? TAAAA (type FORTVNAE?, imitation of a Postumus' coin)

Radiate head and draped bust of Bonosus to the right, seen from three quarter ahead.

Fortuna? standing right, holiding cornucopia? with the left hand and a rudder? with the right hand.

Coin illustrated int the article of Mme Sylviane Estiot, ''Probus et les 'tyrans minuscules' Proculus et Bonosus. Que dit la monnaie'', paru dans ''Historiae Augustae, Colloquium Nanceiense, Atti dei Convegni sulla Historia Augusta, XII''. Page 221, n°20, source Malicorne 56.

The drapery is visible only on a few examples of other types, all sharing the same obverse die.

I noted the legends descriptions, that are difficult to read and are sometimes an interpretation of strange forms, following the pieces visible on several copies (for the obverse). I rely on Mrs. Sylviane Estiot's article, ''Probus et les 'tyrans minuscules' Proculus et Bonosus. Que dit la monnaie'', published in ''Historiae Augustae, Colloquium Nanceiense, Atti dei Convegni sulla Historia Augusta, XII''. Mrs. Estiot demonstrates that the obverse dies are all the same for the entire coinage. See pages 220 and 221 for copy 20 = Malicorne 56. The theory advanced in the article is that they are in fact imitative coins of Postumus. The types used and the obverse legends are all related to Postumus coins.
