PROBUS RIC 449 VAR. 
OBVERSE: IMP C PROBVS AVG CONS II
REVERSE: VIRTVS AVG (emperor on horse spearing knealing enemy)
BUST TYPE: H2 = Radiate bust left in consular robe, holding eagle-tipped sceptre (scipio)
FIELD / EXERGUE MARKS: -/-//QXXT
WEIGHT 3.82g / AXIS: 12h / WIDTH: 23-25mm
RIC: 449 VAR. (QXXT MINTMARK UNLISTED)
COLLECTION NO. 1194

Ex. S. Luethi collection

Extremely rare and desirable reverse type in combination with a scarce and desirable consular obverse legend. A coin of the highest numismatic interest!

The only specimen of this type known to me (I know of another similar specimen from officina QXXT from E.Raes collection but with a different placement of the enemy)
