Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, who was the first Christian Roman emperor and is considered one of the most important figures in Roman history. He ruled from 306 to 337 AD and oversaw many significant changes in the Roman Empire, including the establishment of Christianity as the dominant religion and the creation of a new capital city, Constantinople. This coin was minted during his reign and is a rare and valuable artifact for collectors and historians.
