As luck would have it, coins from his reign are frequently up at auction, including now: https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?sea...&p=searchall Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7933 Posts	Posted 03/18/2020 7:11 pm There is a meme out there these days about a Saint Corona who is patron saint of pandemics. Alas, this is a bit of fake news ... Christian tradition holds that there was indeed such a saint, but she was not related to pandemics or diseases (she is in fact, the patron saint of treasure hunters). Report this Post to the Staff
