IOVI CONSER (To Jupiter the Protector.) - Aurelian receiving globe from Jupiter. 

The antoninianus was intended to hold the value of two denarii; however, due to coin debasement, it never contained twice the amount of silver. It was made of "billon," a composition of silver mixed with a base metal like copper.
