Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin , which features Gallienus (ROMAE AETERNAE) on one side and the Roman Empire's (27 BC - 395 AD) symbol on the other, was actually a replacement coin. The original coin had a mistake in the inscription, and this new version was minted to correct that error. This is a unique aspect of this particular coin, making it stand out among other coins from the same era.
