Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Crispus, who was the son of Constantine the Great and served as Caesar (a junior emperor) from 323-324 AD. Despite his short reign, Crispus' coinage is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance.
