Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Quintillus coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire, specifically during the Crisis of the Third Century (235-284 AD). This period saw a series of civil wars, corruption, and external invasions, which weakened the empire's economy and stability. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintained a relatively high level of silver purity, which speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Roman Empire during this time.
