Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Trajan Decius and the goddess Abundantia was issued during a time of great economic turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's silver content was actually decreased during this period, which led to inflation and a decrease in the value of the currency. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
