His antoniniani were struck across an unusually wide network of mints, with Antiochia issues marked by the XXI exergue notation. The XXI mark indicates the silver-bronze ratio (20:1) of the debased radiate, a piece of monetary transparency unusual for the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDenomination: Antoninianus\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMint: Antiochia\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDate struck: 276-282 CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReference: RIC V Probus 920\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.8 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiameter: 22 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDie axis: \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCondition: Very Fine (VF)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWear it as a pendant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coin can be paired with our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/handmade-925-silver-chain-with-bail\"\u003ehandmade 925 silver chain with bail\u003c\/a\u003e to wear it as a pendant.
