About RIC 699

RIC 699 was minted by the 7th officina (-/VII//XXI) of the Siscia mint. The original RIC text mentions 3 different variations/different bust types (bust types according to Pierre Bastiens grouping of bust types; see illustrated: probvs.net), and there are also two variants known:

1. radiate, draped, right (A bust (*)) (this coin);
2. radiate, cuirassed, left (B1 bust) (Numista #293726; Alföldi 038.006 (**); example: probuscoins.fr #5032);
3. radiate, cuirassed, left, with spear and shield (F bust; could also be F8 bust) (not in Numista);
4. [var] radiate, draped and cuirassed, right (A2 bust) - missing "C M AVR" (Numista #393172);
5. [var] radiate, cuirassed, right (B1 bust) - missing "C M AVR" (example: probuscoins.fr #1528);

(*) RIC seems to mistakenly not list the A2 bust (Probus, draped and cuirassed, right) but the A bust (Probus, draped, right). See for example RIC 651 where the A2 and A bust are separately listed. There are no published examples of the A bust. There is one published image of an example with the A2 bust: probuscoins.fr #4227 and also Alföldi only lists the A2 bust (#038.005 in (**) Andreas Alföldi, Vorarbeiten zu einem Corpus der in Siscia geprägten römischen Kaisermünzen. Heft V. Verzeichnis der Antoniniane des Kaisers Probus, Budapest, 1939).
According to Pink, RIC 699 is part of the 7th emission, which was in the year 280 (Karl Pink, Der Aufbau der römischen Münzprägung in der Kaiserzeit VI/I, Wien, 1949, p. 41).
