http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.8.lug.197Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the emperor Constantius II with a prominent "M" behind his bust, which stands for "Magnus," meaning "great" in Latin. This title was often used by Roman emperors to emphasize their authority and power. Additionally, the coin's reverse side features the inscription "FEL TEMP REPARATIO," which translates to "happy times are being repaired," suggesting that the coin was minted during a time of economic or political reform.
