Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Constantius I, who was a Roman emperor from 293 to 306 AD, on one side, and the goddess Victory holding a trophy on the other side. This coin was minted during a time of significant political and military change in the Roman Empire, and its design reflects the importance of military power and victory during that period.
