Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil and political instability in the Roman Empire. The Gallic Empire, which was a breakaway state from the Roman Empire, was established by Postumus in 260 AD, and this coin was minted during his reign. Despite the political upheaval, the coin still bears the traditional Roman imperial titles and imagery, indicating a desire to maintain some level of continuity with the past. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin at the time.
