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" (meaning "blessed tranquility") on the other, which suggests that the coin was minted during a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire.
