Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was actually decreased during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin still features impressive detail and artwork, showcasing the craftsmanship of Roman minting techniques at the time.
