Hi,

this coin is listed by Guillemain (J. GUILLEMAIN, Ripostiglio della Venèra: Nuovo Catalogo Illustrato. Volume III, 1: La monetazione di Probo a Roma (276-282 d.C.), Roma, 2009) - see no. 473 of his classification of Probus coins minted in Rome (7 specimens are cited, all from the famous La Venera hoard). 

Nevertheless I agree with Martin that it is a nice find indeed.

regards,

Barnaba
