Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus coin is that it was introduced by Emperor Philippus I (also known as Philip the Arab) in 244 AD, and it was the first coin to feature the image of a Roman Emperor wearing a beard. This was a significant departure from the traditional clean-shaven image of Roman Emperors and marked a shift in the cultural and political landscape of the Roman Empire.
