Interesting fact
The Follis coinage, which includes the Constans I coin , was introduced by the Roman Empire during the reign of Emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD) as part of a series of economic reforms aimed at addressing inflation and stabilizing the empire's economy. The Follis coinage was designed to be a more affordable alternative to the older, larger bronze coins that were previously used, and it featured a smaller size and a lower weight. Despite its smaller size, the Follis coinage was still made of bronze and featured impressive detail and craftsmanship, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
