Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Valerianus (VICTORIA PARTHICA) (259) coin from the Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) made of Silver is interesting because it features the emperor Valerian I, who was captured by the Persians in 260 AD, making it one of the last coins to bear his image before his unfortunate fate.
