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 side, there is a depiction of the goddess Victory holding a wreath and a palm branch, symbolizing the Roman Empire's victory and power. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the early Christian period of the Roman Empire.
