Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Constans, who was known for his controversial reign and his efforts to promote Christianity throughout the empire. Despite his efforts, his reign was marked by political instability and military conflicts, and he was eventually assassinated in 354 AD.
