Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Constantius Gallus, who was a prominent Roman general and politician, and later became the Western Roman Emperor from 351 to 354 AD. The coin was minted during his time as Caesar, which was a title given to him by the Roman Emperor Constans, and it highlights his role as a military leader and a potential successor to the throne. The coin's design also includes the inscription "FEL TEMP REPARATIO," which translates to "Happy Times Restored," suggesting that Constantius Gallus' rule was associated with a period of peace and prosperity for the Roman Empire.
