Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Crispus, who was the son of Constantine the Great, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) bears the inscription "CAESARVM NOSTRORVM" (Our Caesars) and a crescent moon, indicating the Roman Empire's shift towards Christianity during this period.
