Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Florianus coin was minted during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was gradually decreased during the reign of Emperor Florianus (276 AD), which led to a period of hyperinflation and economic crisis. Despite this, the coin remained in circulation for many years and is still highly sought after by collectors today.
