One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Constantius Gallus, who was a Caesar of the Roman Empire during the 4th century. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to restore the empire's economy and infrastructure. The coin's design, which includes the phrase "FEL TEMP REPARATIO" (meaning "happy times are being repaired") and the image of an eagle, reflects the themes of renewal and restoration that were important during Gallus' reign.
