The Antoninianus - Florianus coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Florianus (276 AD), who was the last emperor of the Roman Empire before its division into two parts: the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. This coin was minted in Rome and features an image of Fortuna, the Roman goddess of luck and prosperity, on one side, and an image of Florianus on the other. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Despite its age, the Antoninianus - Florianus coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today, with some rare examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
