Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Crispus, who was the son of Constantine the Great and ruled alongside his father as Caesar from 317 to 318 AD. Despite his short reign, Crispus' coinage is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance.
