Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. The Gallic Empire, which was a breakaway state from the Roman Empire, was established by Postumus in 260 AD and lasted until 274 AD. During this time, the empire issued its own coinage, including the Antoninianus - Victorinus coin, which was made of billon, a silver-like alloy, and weighed 2.50 grams. Despite the turmoil, the coin still bears the image of the Roman Emperor Victorinus and the inscription "PAX AVG," indicating a desire for peace and stability.
