Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, on one side, and the goddess Roma on the other. This coin was minted during Constantine's reign, which lasted from 306 to 337 AD, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is considered a significant historical artifact and a symbol of the Roman Empire's power and influence during that time.
