This coin depicts the roman emperor Constantine in profile wearing roman garb and a wreath about his head. There seems to be an attempt at portraiture as the emperor is shown with distinctively solid jaw, massive neck, and aquiline nose. His noble visage cannot fail to remind us of the glory that was the Roman Empire, and this coin cannot fail to appeal to the lover of history and the connoisseur of art. Constantine ruled the roman empire jointly from 306-324 AD., but he ruled alone from 324 until his death in 337 A.D. His conversion to Christianity, his deliberate break with Rome, and the subsequent foundation of Constantinople as the capital of the Roman Empire are events, which mark his reign as among the most notable of the roman emperors.
