Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Constantinus I coin is that it features the first Christian symbol, the Chi-Rho monogram, on its reverse side. This symbol, which combines the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ (Chi and Rho), was used by Emperor Constantine to mark his conversion to Christianity and to promote the new religion throughout the empire. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin reflects the significant religious and cultural changes that were taking place during this time period.
