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 intention to promote a sense of renewal and prosperity during a time of political and economic instability in the Roman Empire.
