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 Constantius II wearing a crown and holding a scepter, symbolizing his authority as emperor. The coin's reverse side features the inscription "VICTORIAE DD AVGG Q NN," which means "to the victory of our lords, the two Augusti," referring to Constantius II and his co-emperor, Constans. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the early Christian period of the Roman Empire.
