Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Florianus coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Florianus (276 AD), who was known for his attempts to reform the Roman Empire's currency and economy. The coin's design features the image of Sol, the Roman god of the sun, on the obverse (front side), and the legend "PACATOR ORBIS" (meaning "peacemaker of the world") on the reverse (back side). This coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Despite its value, the coin was still widely used in trade and commerce throughout the Roman Empire, reflecting the strong economic system that existed during this period.
