Comment
A Gallic imitation of contemporary coinage issued by Tetricus I.Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin , which features Tetricus I, is considered to be one of the rarest and most valuable coins from the Roman Empire. It's known as a "barbarous radiate" coin, which means that it was produced by a barbarian imitating Roman coinage, but with a unique design and style. The coin's rarity and value are due to the fact that it was produced in limited quantities during a time of great turmoil and change in the Roman Empire, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
