Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Aurelianus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Aurelian (270-275 AD) as a way to reform the Roman currency system, which had been debased by previous emperors. The coin was made of silver and had a unique design, featuring a radiate crown on the obverse (front) side and a shield with a bust of the emperor on the reverse (back) side. This coin was an attempt to restore the Roman currency system to its former glory and stabilize the economy, and it remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
