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 the image of Florianus on one side and the goddess Pax (Peace) on the other, with the inscription "PAX AVGVSTI" (Peace of the Augusti). Despite being made of silver, the coin was not valued highly during its time due to the economic instability of the empire, and it was eventually replaced by coins made of cheaper metals. Today, however, the Antoninianus - Florianus coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
