Coin history:

Claudius II, commonly known as Claudius Gothicus, was Roman emperor for a couple years, from 268 to 270 AD. He fought successfully against Germanic and Gothic tribes. He died of a plague while preparing for another war campaign against the Vandals, and the Roman Senate quickly deified him. The ‘DIVO CLAUDIO’ inscription on the coins means ‘Deified Claudius’ or ‘Saint Claudius’. These coins were struck in the name of Claudius II for about a year after his death.

The obverse shows Claudius wearing a radiate crown. The Roman coins didn’t explicitly state the denomination, and this radiate crown meant that coin was an antoninianus. The reverse shows an eagle. Minted, roughly, AD 270.
