Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Carinus coin was issued during a time of great economic turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was decreased significantly during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin still features the goddess Fortuna on its reverse side, symbolizing the hope for good fortune and prosperity in the empire.
