Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the first Christian emperor, Constans I, who ruled from 337 to 354 AD. The coin's design includes the emperor's bust on one side and the Chi-Rho symbol, a Christian symbol representing the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ, on the other. This coin is a rare example of early Christian iconography on a Roman coin, reflecting the significant religious and cultural changes taking place during this period in history.
