    I have an Antoninianus similar to the one presented by Alegandron but the mint mark is Z // XXI
    Does anybody know which officina is Z ?
    It is also under RIC V 621 as described at http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.5.dio.621
    but I have not been able to find any description of the officinae for this type:bookworm:

    This coin was probably minted around the time of Diocletian's coinage reform. Although RIC, vol.VI, lists this coin as having its mint mark in the exergue, coins from this series actually have the marks in the lower field, as this example shows.

    You can read Saul Roll-Vélez's article (AJN Second Series 26 (2014) pp. 223–243) about these issues here.

    Just sharing the Antoninianus, 7th officina :) with a close-up of the reverse; don't know why Victory is hard to see in the "normal" picture, maybe too much light

    Obverse: IMP C M A MAXIMIANVS P F AVG Bust of Maximian, radiate, cuirassed, r.
    Reverse: CONCORDIA MILITVM (Dedicated to harmony with the soldiers) Maximian, draped, cuirassed, standing r., holding short scepter in right hand and receiving Victory on globe from Jupiter; Jupiter, standing left, holding long scepter; mint mark Z // XXI
