Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Licinius I, who was a Roman emperor who ruled from 308 to 324 AD. He was known for his military campaigns against the Sassanid Empire and his efforts to establish Christianity as the dominant religion of the Roman Empire. The coin's design, which includes the emperor's image and the inscription "DN LICINI INVICT AVG," reflects the power and influence of Licinius I during his reign.
