The creator of this intriguing piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and allure to its history. Emperor Constantius II is depicted wearing a regal diadem and a majestic paludamentum, or cloak, which exudes his authority and power. The reverse side of the coin reveals an intense scene with a soldier attacking a fallen enemy using a spear. This dynamic portrayal symbolizes the might and military prowess of the Roman Empire during that era. Minted in Colonia Copia Claudia Augusta Lugdunum (modern-day Lyon), this bronze currency holds great significance as it represents not only art but also finance and numismatics.

Its rich coloration adds depth to its visual appeal while emphasizing its historical value. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of Emperor Constantius II's influential reign over Rome, his royal lineage as Flavius Julius Constantius Augustus, and his lasting impact on both Roman society and global history.
