Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus coin featuring Tetricus I (INCUSE) from the Gallic Empire (Roman splinter states) made of Billon and weighing 2.34g is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil and political instability in the Roman Empire. The Gallic Empire was a breakaway state that emerged in the 3rd century AD, and Tetricus I was one of its rulers. Despite the challenges faced by the empire, the coinage issued during this period, including the Antoninianus, remained of high quality and aesthetic appeal, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of the time.
