Interesting fact
The Antoninianus - Volusianus coin was issued during a time of great economic and political instability in the Roman Empire. The coin's design, which features the goddess Concordia on the reverse, was meant to promote the idea of unity and harmony within the empire. Despite this, the coin's issuance coincided with a period of civil war and political upheaval, and its value depreciated significantly over time due to excessive minting and inflation.
