One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great (PON M TR P P P COS III) on one side, indicating that it was minted during his reign (306-337 AD). Constantine is known for his significant reforms and military victories, and his rule marked a turning point in Roman history.
