Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Aurelianus (270-275 AD) and features the image of a goddess on the reverse side, possibly Juno or Venus. This coin was part of a series of reforms implemented by Aurelianus to stabilize the Roman economy, which had been suffering from inflation and debasement of the currency. The use of silver in the production of coins like the Antoninianus was a significant change from previous coins, which were made of bronze or other base metals, and marked a return to the use of precious metals in Roman coinage.
