This is a genuine Antoninianus coin from the emperor Valerian II and minted from 256 to 258AD. The denomination of an Antoninianus had the value of 2 denarii and features the emperor wearing a radiate crown, indicating it was a double denomination. On the reverse it features the emperor in military attire, crowning a trophy and holding a spear and a shield.
It is in incredible condition for being over 1700 years old with such crisp details and would be a fantastic addition to a numismatic collection.
