Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Constantine I, who is considered one of the most important figures in Roman history. He was the first Christian Roman emperor and is credited with establishing Christianity as the dominant religion of the 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.
