Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a quadriga, or a chariot pulled by four horses, on its reverse side. This was a common motif on Roman coins during the 4th century, and it symbolized the power and prestige of the Roman Empire. The use of a quadriga on this coin may have been intended to emphasize the authority and status of Emperor Constantinus I, who ruled the empire from 306 to 337 AD.
