Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Probus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's design, which features the goddess Concordia on the reverse, was meant to promote the idea of unity and harmony within the empire. Despite this, the coin's issuance coincided with a period of civil war and political upheaval, and it is believed that the coin's production was halted during this time. This makes the Antoninianus - Probus coin a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians interested in the late Roman Empire.
