Relive the history of the Roman Empire with this authentic Antoninianus coin, introduced in 215 AD during the reign of Caracalla. Its name derives from the emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, and his image appears on the coin crowned with a radiate, a symbol of divinity and power.
Initially minted in silver, the Antoninianus reflects both the greatness and the economic crisis of the Empire.
This historical piece stands out for several elements that make it an essential numismatic testimony:
- Authentic imperial origin: Minted by various Roman emperors between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, this coin replaced the denarius as the Empire's main currency during turbulent decades. Radiant imperial design: The emperor's bust with a radiate crown on the obverse conveys solar symbolism and divine authority. The reverse features various allegories of power, victory, and stability. Original minting in silver or billon: Although it began as a silver coin, shortages and crises forced the addition of copper and tin. Each coin reflects a different stage of the Empire's monetary decline.
- Careful presentation: Delivered in an elegant velvet bag and includes a certificate of authenticity. Each piece is unique and distinct, ideal for display or collection.
