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 played a significant role in establishing Christianity as the dominant religion of the empire. Additionally, he oversaw many significant political and military reforms, including the establishment of a new capital city, Constantinople, which would go on to become a major center of power and culture in the Eastern Roman Empire.
