Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Antoninianus - Carinus coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Carinus, who was known for his excesses and lavish spending, and its production was likely a attempt to address the economic challenges of the time by increasing the money supply. Despite these efforts, the Roman Empire continued to face economic struggles and the coin's value likely fluctuated greatly during its circulation.
