Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman Emperor, Constantinus II, on one side, and the inscription "BEATA TRANQVILLITAS" on the other, which translates to "blessed tranquility" in Latin. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire, which is a notable historical fact.
