<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 4227866, member: 87200&quot;]Fairly common but it&#039;s always nice to have an antoninianus in your collection (e.g. double denarius). The radiate crown means &quot;double.&quot; Keep in mind that these were typically about 1.5-1.6x the weight of a denarius, so the government got a little extra value out of the denomination. Just ten years later the government could no longer afford to issue these coins to meet fiscal obligations and switched to a bronze alloy coin with a silver wash. Not good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
