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 bears the inscription "BEATA TRANQVILLITAS," which means "blessed tranquility," indicating the period of relative peace and stability that Constantine brought to the empire after years of civil wars.
