I have a Probus antoninianus with a mint mark I can't seem to find in my older copy of RIC.

The reverse is RESTITVT ORBIS with design of a woman presenting a wreath to Probus.

The mint mark is XXI . II and there is no star in the reverse field. I've looked at all the possibilities for RIC #731-734 (Siscia mint) and nothing seems to match.

Any possibility with a dot after the XXI has a star in the reverse field.

Could this be an unlisted variant or am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The exe is XXI.II - RIC 733; Alföldi type 57, n° 43; Siscia. Bust type F. 9th emission of Siscia, 282 A.D.

Scroll part way down the following page to find another example of the type.

Precise identification aside, that is truly a lovely specimen.
