Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Crispus, who was a son of Constantine the Great and served as a Caesar (junior emperor) in the Roman Empire. Despite his significance in Roman history, Crispus' life was cut short when he was executed by his father in 326 AD, just a few years after this coin was minted. This coin is a rare surviving example of a nummus, a type of Roman coin that was widely used during the 4th century AD.
