Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Florianus coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Florianus (276 AD), who was the son of Emperor Tacitus and was known for his military campaigns against the Goths and Vandals. Despite his military successes, Florianus' reign was cut short when he was killed in a battle against the Goths in 276 AD, making his coinage relatively rare and sought after by collectors.
