Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Providentia on one side, which symbolizes the idea of foresight and planning for the future. This was a common theme in Roman currency during the reign of Constantinus II, as he sought to promote the idea of a well-organized and prosperous empire.
