COLLECTION NO. 646
NOTE: Serdica is known for its numerous variants of obverse legends, but struck a very limited number of reverse types, therefore this extremely rare reverse type, struck only during the brief 5th emmission, and completely ommitted by RIC V.2, is very desirable among Probus collectors!
This is only the 2nd known specimen in the world! (information from Ph. Gysen + my own database)Barnaba6

COLLECTION NO. 980
NOTE: This is only the 4th specimen in the world known to me.
Extremely rare variant without any mintmarks. This coin is part of a true "adventvs" issue and was most likely distributed by the emperor himself upon entering the city of Siscia contrary to regular issues of coins with the adventvs reverse and mintmarks in the exergue, which often were struck long after the emperor had left the city. Attribution of coins without any mintmarks to a particular mint is done on the basis of careful analysis of the coin's style and lettering.

RIC 925 (ANTIOCHIA)
COLLECTION NO. 1245
Attribution of this coin to the 4th unspecified oriental mint instead of Antiochia (as in RIC V.II) is based on the article by S. Estiot, "L’Empereur et l’usurpateur: un 4e atelier oriental sous Probus"; Studies in ancient coinage in honor of Anndrew Burnett, Spink, London, 2015.
Only 1 specimen of this type is cited in the above article. Apparently only the second known specimen (with dot after A)!

COLLECTION NO. 1037
Note: extremely rare and sought-after by collectors reverse type with Emperor on horse spearing knealing enemy (VIR-1 in Gysen's classification). This is by far the rarest and most interesting reverse type among the (limited) reverses struct at Cyzicus under Probus (though the same reverse type is quite common at Serdica).
