Comment
It is similar to RIV V.1 489 but differs in style.Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin was issued during the reign of Gallienus, who was a Roman emperor from 260 to 268 AD. During his reign, the Roman Empire was facing numerous challenges, including invasions by barbarian tribes and internal conflicts. Despite these challenges, Gallienus was able to maintain stability and prosperity in the empire, and his coins, like the Antoninianus, remain a testament to the empire's enduring legacy.
