Interesting fact

The Antoninianus - Aurelianus coin was minted during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's design, which features the goddess Concordia on the reverse, was meant to promote the idea of unity and harmony within the empire. Despite this, the coin's minting was often irregular and its value fluctuated greatly due to the empire's economic struggles.
