Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the first Christian emperor, Constantius II, who ruled the Roman Empire from 337 to 361 AD. The coin's design includes the image of a chi-rho, a symbol of Christianity, on the reverse side, indicating the emperor's conversion to Christianity and the beginning of Christianity's rise to dominance in the empire.
