Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Aurelianus coin has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Aurelian, who ruled from 270 to 275 AD, and was part of a series of reforms aimed at stabilizing the empire's economy and military. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin still features a beautiful image of the goddess Victory on the reverse side, symbolizing the empire's enduring spirit and resilience.
