Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Crispus, who was a Caesar of the Roman Empire and the son of Emperor Constantine the Great. Crispus was known for his military campaigns and his role in establishing Christianity as the dominant religion of the empire. The coin's design, which includes the Latin phrase "BEATA TRANQVILLITAS" (blessed tranquility), suggests that Crispus' reign was marked by a period of relative peace and stability within the empire.
