Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis - Constans I coin is that it features a rare misspelling of the emperor's name. The coin's inscription reads "CONSTANS" instead of the correct spelling "CONSTANTINUS." This error was likely caused by a mistake in the die-making process and makes the coin a unique and valuable collector's item.
