Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Antoninianus - Probus coin is that it features the goddess Concordia on the reverse side, which represents unity and harmony within the Roman Empire. This is significant because it highlights the importance of unity and cooperation during a time of political and military turmoil, and it suggests that the Roman Empire was actively promoting these values during Probus' reign.
