Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman Emperor, Constans I, who was known for his controversial reign and his attempts to persecute pagans and promote Christianity throughout the empire. Despite his efforts, his reign was marked by political instability, military failures, and economic troubles, which are reflected in the relatively low value of this coin compared to other coins of the time.
