Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the first Christian emperor, Constantine the Great, who ruled from 306 to 337 AD. The coin's reverse side depicts a chi-rho monogram, which is a symbol of Christianity that was used by Constantine. This coin was minted during a time when Christianity was still a minority religion in the Roman Empire, and it reflects the growing influence of Christianity during Constantine's reign.
