I'm trying to find out when the Griffin, that mythical creature, was last featured on a Roman coin. I'm curious about its historical presence on Roman currency.

The last sighting of a griffin on a Roman coin is notably featured on an antoninianus belonging to Emperor Gallienus.

On the coin, the griffin is depicted walking to the right, with its wings extended in a graceful manner despite the rough craftsmanship.
