One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Licinius II, who was a junior emperor and the son of Licinius I, who ruled the Eastern Roman Empire from 308 to 324 AD. Despite his young age, Licinius II was appointed as the co-emperor by his father and was given the title of "Augustus" in 317 AD. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted until 324 AD, when he was killed during the civil wars that followed the death of his father.
