Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Maximianus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who ruled from 284 to 305 AD. These coins were designed to combat inflation and restore economic stability to the empire. The coin , which features Jupiter on one side and the emperors Maximianus and Antoninianus on the other, was minted in Rome between 285 and 288 AD. It's made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. I hope you find this information interesting and helpful!
