Very pretty coin, as usual quandrans!  I recall that years ago I had the choice to focus my collecting efforts on the coins of Probus (when presented with the opportunity to buy a medal) or folles of RIC 6.  I chose the latter, but each time I see one of your coins I wonder if I made the right choice...
