Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Constantius Gallus, who was a prominent Roman emperor during the 4th century. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political turmoil. The coin's design, which includes the phrase "FEL TEMP REPARATIO" (meaning "happy times are being repaired") and the image of a Roman soldier, reflects the themes of military power and imperial authority that were prevalent during Gallus' reign.
