Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an early Christianity-themed design. The reverse side of the coin depicts a chi-rho monogram, which is a symbol of Christianity that was used during the Roman Empire. This suggests that Constantius II, the emperor who issued the coin, may have been a Christian or had sympathies towards the Christian faith. This is significant because it was during his reign that Christianity began to gain popularity and acceptance within the Roman Empire.
