Interesting fact
The Antoninianus, also known as the "Gallienus," was a coin introduced by the Roman Emperor Gallienus in 260 AD, during a time of great turmoil and political instability in the Roman Empire. Despite this, the coin remained in circulation for over 300 years, until the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. This coin was made of silver and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the empire, indicating the widespread use and acceptance of this coin during that time period.
