Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Hanniballianus (Constantinopolis) coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, who ruled from 306 to 337 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Victory on the other. This coin was minted during Constantine's reign, specifically in 336-337 AD, and was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the Roman Empire. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is considered a significant historical artifact and a symbol of the Roman Empire's power and influence during that time.
