Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis - Constantius II (VICTORIA AVGG; Siscia) (342) coin is that it features a rare reverse design, depicting the goddess Victoria standing on the prow of a ship, with her right hand holding a victory wreath and her left hand resting on the ship's rail. This design was only used on coins minted in Siscia (modern-day Sisak, Croatia) during Constantius II's reign, making it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
