Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Probus coin was minted during a time of significant economic and political change 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 was minted during a period of civil war and political instability, which ultimately led to the fall of the Roman Empire. This contrast between the coin's message of unity and the actual political climate of the time makes it a fascinating piece of history.
