Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Crispus, who was a Caesar of the Roman Empire and the eldest son of Emperor Constantine the Great. Crispus was known for his military campaigns and was considered a promising leader, but he died prematurely at the age of 35, before he could succeed his father as emperor. The coin was minted during his lifetime, and it is believed that it was created to promote his image and reinforce his position as a future ruler.
