Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Philip II, who was only 11 years old when he became emperor, making him one of the youngest rulers in Roman history. Despite his young age, Philip II was able to maintain stability in the empire and implement several reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system that included the Antoninianus coin.
