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 VOTIS XX" on the other, which translates to "Blissful tranquility for 20 years" in Latin. This suggests that the coin was issued to commemorate a 20-year anniversary of Constantinus II's reign, which is a significant historical event. Additionally, the fact that it's made of bronze and weighs 3.22g suggests that it was a widely circulated coin among the common people of the Roman Empire during that time.
