Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Aurelianus coin was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was gradually decreased during the reign of Aurelian, leading to a period of hyperinflation and economic instability. Despite this, the coin remained an important symbol of Roman power and influence, and its design was copied by other cultures for centuries to come.
