London mint.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Constantinus I as Caesar, which is significant because Constantinus I, also known as Constantine the Great, was the first Christian Roman emperor and played a major role in establishing Christianity as the dominant religion of the Roman Empire.
