Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Constantius II, who was the Roman Emperor at the time, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the inscription "PROVIDENTIAE CAESS" which means "by the providence of Caesar" in Latin, indicating that the coin was issued under the authority of the Roman Emperor.
