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 of its minting, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Cybele on the other. This coin was part of a large-scale minting effort by Constantius II to promote unity and stability throughout the empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant artifact of ancient Roman history and culture.
