Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Florianus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was decreased during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin remained an important symbol of Roman power and influence, and its production continued until the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD.
