Ex Numismatic Lanz auction 153 lot 568
NOTE: Apparently it is only the second known example of such a spectacular error in Probus' name as PRBVS (the second example is in M. Vosper's collection; though with officina mark "VI" in the field and not in the exergue like on my example).
A coin of the highest numismatic interest!
