Comment
Some variants contain the letter P in the left field of the reverseInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted 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 lasted until 274 AD. During this time, the empire faced numerous challenges, including invasions by barbarian tribes and internal power struggles. Despite these challenges, the Antoninianus coin remained a widely used currency throughout the empire, indicating the importance of trade and commerce during this period.
