Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Constans I, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire during a period of political turmoil. Despite his achievements, Constans I's reign was cut short when he was assassinated in 354 AD. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a reminder of his brief but significant impact on Roman history.
