Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Constantine II, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Roman Empire.

This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a tangible reminder of his legacy and the turbulent times in which he ruled.
