Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Constans, who was known for his military campaigns against the barbarian tribes in the north, hence the title "TRIVMFATOR GENTIVM BARBARARVM" which means "Conqueror of the barbarian tribes" on the coin's inscription.
