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 inscription "VICTORIAE DD AVGG Q NN," which translates to "Victory of our Lord and Savior," indicating the spread of Christianity during this time period. Additionally, the coin was minted in Lugdunum (modern-day Lyon, France), which was an important center for Christianity in the Western Roman Empire.
