Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil and political instability in the Roman Empire. The Gallic Empire, which was a breakaway state from the Roman Empire, was established by the governor of Gaul, Postumus, in 260 AD. Tetricus I, who is featured on this coin, was one of the generals who supported Postumus in his rebellion against Rome. Despite the political upheaval, the coinage issued by the Gallic Empire was of high quality and featured elegant designs, such as the Antoninianus coin .
