Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil and political instability in the Roman Empire. The Gallic Empire, which was a breakaway state from the Roman Empire, was established by the usurper 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 minted in 270-271 AD. Despite the political upheaval, the coin still bears the image of the Roman goddess Providentia, indicating the continued influence of Roman culture and religion in the Gallic Empire.
