Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Antoninianus - Victorinus 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 Postumus in 260 AD and lasted until 274 AD. During this time, the empire issued its own currency, including the Antoninianus - Victorinus coin, which was made of billon and weighed 2.35 grams. Despite the political upheaval, the coinage issued by the Gallic Empire was of high quality and has been well-preserved, providing valuable insights into the economic and cultural practices of the time.
