Comment

This reverse is linked to the commemoration of Constantine's Vicennalia of 325. He counts his regnal years from his accession as Caesar on July 25, 306. The military bust recalls his victorious campaign against the Goths, who had crossed the Danube earlier in the year. The Vicennalia were celebrations to mark the emperor's twentieth birthday. Few were able to celebrate them

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Ce revers est lié à la commémoration des Vicennalia de Constantin de 325. Il compte ses années régnales depuis son accession comme César le 25 juillet 306. Le buste militaire rappelle la campagne victorieuse menée contre les Goths qui avaient franchi le Danube en début d'année. Les Vicennalia sont les fêtes pour les vingt ans de règne de l'empereur. Ils furent peu nombreux à pouvoir les célébrer

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman Emperor, Constantinus I, who was also known as Constantine the Great. He was the first Christian Roman Emperor and is credited with establishing Christianity as the dominant religion of the Roman Empire. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 306 to 337 AD, and it is a rare example of a coin that has survived from that time period.
