Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Constantine II, who was the son of Constantine the Great, the first Christian Roman emperor. Despite being the son of a powerful emperor, Constantine II's reign was marked by controversy and conflict, including a civil war against his brother Constantine III. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous history of the Roman Empire.
