Note: Constantius II was a Roman Emperor who ruled from 337 to 361 AD. He was the second son of Constantine the Great and served as one of the co-emperors following his father’s death. His reign was marked by internal strife, religious conflicts, and external threats from the Sassanian Empire and various Germanic tribes. The obverse features a pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantius II facing right. The pearl diadem signifies his imperial status, the drapery highlights his noble bearing, and the cuirass underscores his role as a military leader.
