This is a fine example that weighs 2.1 grams and is 17 millimeters wide. This is an extremely attractive coin and certainly one that you don't see very often. The silvering has been worn off in spots as you can see in the pictures. Purchase and pay for more than one item in any week and combine your items for one shipping charge.
The Antoninianus was a Roman coin used during the 2nd and 3rd century thought to have been valued at 2 denarii It was initially silver, but slowly changed to bronze. The coin was introduced by Caracalla in early 215 and was a silver coin similar to the denarius except that it was slightly larger and showed the emperor in a radiate radiate bust indicating that it was valued at twice as much. Over the years many emperors issued a vast variety and types of antoninianii.
