Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Probus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was decreased during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin remained a popular form of currency and was widely used throughout the empire.
