Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Carinus coin was minted during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was debased, meaning that it contained less silver than previous coins, which led to inflation and economic difficulties for the average person. Despite these challenges, the coin still features the image of the Roman goddess of happiness, Felicitas, on its reverse side, symbolizing the hope for a better future.
