Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Emperor Constantine the Great, who is considered one of the most important figures in Roman history. He was the first Christian Roman emperor and is credited with establishing Christianity as the dominant religion of the empire. The coin's design, which includes Constantine's image and the title "CONSTANTINVS AVG" (short for "Constantinus Augustus"), reflects his influential role in shaping the Roman Empire.
