Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Constantius II, who was a Roman Emperor from 337 to 354 AD, on one side, and the goddess Victoria on the other side. The coin was minted in Siscia, which is now modern-day Sisak, Croatia, and was used as a standard circulation coin during the Roman Empire.
