Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Constantine the Great, 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. The coin's design, which includes a star and the abbreviation "COMITI AAVVGG" (meaning "committee of the Augusti") suggests that it was issued during a time when Constantine was trying to promote unity and stability within the empire.
