Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Sol Invictus, which was a sun god that was revered by the Roman Empire during the reign of Constantinus I. The inscription "SOLI INVICTO COMITI" translates to "To the Unconquered Sun, my companion" and reflects the importance of this deity in Roman culture at the time.
