Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the emperor Licinius II, who was only a child when he ascended to the throne, and his youthful appearance is depicted on the coin. Despite his young age, Licinius II played an important role in Roman politics during his reign, including issuing several significant laws and reforms.
