Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Aurelianus coin was minted during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was decreased during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin remained an important part of trade and commerce throughout the empire.
