Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus - Probus coin is that it features the image of the Roman goddess Felicitas, who represents good luck or happiness, on its reverse side. This is fitting, given that the name Probus means "good" or "honest" in Latin, and the coin was issued during a time of relative peace and prosperity in the Roman Empire.
