Extra Notes per Barry Murphy and Martin Griffiths:

There are 3 specimens recorded in Cathy King's new book on Quinarii:

1 - Vienna
2 - Oxford, ex Hamburger October 19 1925, lot 1546
3 - Subak Collection, ex M&M 66, lot 834, ex Leu 20, lot 387

Very rare and atractive Probus AE quinarius from Rome mint. 
Interesting variant not published in RIC with jugate bust of emperor and Sol left, not right as RIC nº 263 (Vol.V part.II. R4 rarity grade)
IMP.C.PROBVS AVG. Amazing reverse with the four seasons as children playing. FELICIA.TEMPORA. completes legends too. 1,70 grs.
