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 the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the inscription "FIDES MILITVM AVGG ET CAESS NN" which means "the faith of the soldiers of the emperor and Caesar" in Latin, highlighting the importance of the military in maintaining the empire's power and stability during that time.
