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, wearing a crown and a long beard, and on the reverse, it shows the goddess Victoria standing on a prow, holding a victory wreath and a scepter. This coin is a significant artifact from the early Christian period of the Roman Empire.
