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 the goddess Victoria on the other. This coin was minted during a time of significant political and military upheaval in the Roman Empire, and its design reflects the propaganda efforts of the emperor to promote his image and legitimacy. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the economy, politics, and culture of the Roman Empire during the 4th century.
