http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.6.lon.20Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Constantius I, who was a Roman Emperor who ruled from 293 to 306 AD. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to stabilize the Roman Empire after a period of turmoil. The coin was minted during his reign, and it is a rare example of a coin that has survived from that time period.
