Comment
The letters S|F could be the initials of "Sæculi Felicitas" for Century Felicity (CGB). 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. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 306 to 337 AD, and it is a testament to the enduring legacy of his rule.
