Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Valerianus II (CONSECRATIO) was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. The coin's minting period, 257-259 AD, coincided with a series of military crises, including invasions by Germanic tribes and conflicts with the Persian Empire. Despite these challenges, the Roman Empire continued to issue coins like the Antoninianus, which served as an important symbol of the empire's power and influence.
