Interesting fact
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 the goddess Spes (Hope) on the reverse side, symbolizing the hope for a brighter future during a time of political and economic instability. Despite being made of silver, the coin's value was not high, and it was widely used in everyday transactions.
