Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Probus coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Probus (276-282 AD), who was known for his military campaigns and agricultural reforms. One of the notable features of this coin is that it contains a rare mint error, where the emperor's name "PROBUS" is misspelled as "PROBI" on the reverse side. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors and numismatists, and it is considered a valuable addition to any collection of Roman coins.
