The venerable silver denarius had all but disappeared by the AD 260s, driven out of circulation by its inflationary cousin, the increasingly debased "silver" antoninianus. As part of his overall coinage reform, Aurelian reintroduced a laureate "silver" denomination, undoubtedly a denarius, in circa AD 275. As with its companion, the improved antoninianus, the silver content was stabilized at close to 5% and production standards tightened up to produce a more attractive coin. Denarii were produced in some quantities for Aurelian and his wife, Severina, but the denomination was discontinued again by his successor, Tacitus. (CNG 121 #934).
Billon denarii such as these would not have been intended for circulation, but rather minted as presentational issues - cheaper as being mostly made of bronze, silvered to appear more expensive, and used in situations such as imperial processions, wherein the emperor would hand out large quantities of such coins as largesse.
