Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Constantius II, who was the Roman Emperor at the time of its minting, on one side, and the goddess Felicitas, who represents happiness and good fortune, on the other. This coin was likely used as a symbol of the prosperity and success of the Roman Empire during Constantius II's reign.
