Comment
(fr) Initialement plaquée d'argent, dont l'usure a fini par éliminer le plaquage avec le temps.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Constantine II, who was known for his controversial reign and attempts to assert his authority over the Christian Church. Despite his efforts, he was ultimately assassinated in 337 AD.
