Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Constantius II, who was the Roman Emperor at the time of its minting, on one side, and the inscription "VICTORIAE DD AVGGQ NN" which means "Victory of our lords, the two Augusti" on the other side, indicating that it was issued during a period of joint rule between Constantius II and his brother Constans.
