Comment
Commonly with reverse caesura FEL TEMP RE PARATIO but sometimes with caesura FEL TEMP R - EPARATIO.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Constantius II, who was the Roman Emperor at the time of its minting, and the inscription "FEL TEMP REPARATIO" which means "Happy Times Restored" in Latin, indicating the coin's intended use as a symbol of the emperor's efforts to restore prosperity and stability to the empire.
