Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the 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. Additionally, he oversaw many significant reforms, including the creation of a new capital city, Constantinople, which would go on to become a major center of power and culture for centuries to come.
