Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Crispus, who was a prominent military leader and son of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. Crispus played a significant role in the early years of his father's reign and was known for his military campaigns against the Germanic tribes. The coin was minted during his lifetime, and it is believed that the image of Crispus on the coin was meant to promote his reputation and legitimacy as a potential future emperor.
