Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Probus coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Probus (276-282 AD) to promote the ideals of concordia, or harmony, within the Roman Empire. The coin features an image of the goddess Concordia on the reverse, symbolizing unity and cooperation among the Roman people.
