<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 3205021, member: 31620"]The bust type here is "cuirassed and seen from the rear", which is a generally scarce bust type for Probus from any mint. Of all the mints at which it occurs, Cyzicus is the most common. This reverse type occurs very commonly ay this mint with the "draped and cuirassed bust seen from the rear" (see below).
