A1 busts of Probus

For Probus, the A1 bust is really quite a rarity. Three specimens (including this one) are noted in Christophe Oliva's search engine
In addition, other singular examples are found in Budapest, in Madrid, and in the collection of Barnaba Skibniewski q.v.
While, undoubtedly, other specimens are scattered through private collections, they are not documented, or known to us.

This particular specimen is from the same dies as a coin Alföldi found in the collection at Budapest. Which is not as well preserved.

RIC doesn't list this bust type for Probus.
