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 and prosperity, on its reverse side. This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Probus (276-282 AD), who was known for his efforts to restore the Roman Empire's economy and military after a period of turmoil. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the prosperity and good fortune that Probus aimed to bring to the empire.
