Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman Emperor, Constantinus I, on one side, and the inscription "BEATA TRANQLITAS" which means "blessed tranquility" in Latin, on the other side. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, which was a significant achievement during a period of frequent wars and political upheaval.
