Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Probus coin features an image of the Roman goddess Salus (health) on its reverse side, which is unusual for a coin issued during the reign of Probus, who was known for his military campaigns and agricultural reforms. This suggests that the coin may have been issued to promote the idea of health and well-being during a time of conflict and social change.
