Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Licinius II, who was only a child when he was appointed as Caesar under his father Licinius I in 317 AD. Despite his young age, Licinius II was given the responsibility of governing the eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, and this coin was likely minted during his reign.
