Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Crispus, who was the son of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, and was appointed as Caesar (a junior emperor) by his father in 317 AD. Despite his young age, Crispus played an important role in the Roman Empire and was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. This coin, which was minted in 321 AD, is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the life and reign of Crispus, and the broader history of the Roman Empire during that time.
