Ancient Coin Set 5 Antoninianus

This is a set of six silver Antoninianii between Gordian III – 238-244AD  to Trebonianus Gallus – 251-253AD  just before the major debasement begins following the capture of Valerian I – 253-260AD  in 260AD. This set reflects the inflation where this denomination was introduced by Caracalla – 198-217AD which was a DOUBLE Denarius showing how inflation had reduced the purchasing power of the denarius which had been introduced in 211BC.

These are hand-selected and are generally in Extremely Fine condition, far above the normal quality of this period.
