Minting information

In terms of his coinage, Constantine introduced significant reforms. In addition to gold and silver coins, he also issued bronze coins. He tried to increase the proportion of gold coins compared to previous emperors, probably in order to increase the economic stability and power of the empire.

Its coins usually feature the emperor's profile on one side and various deities or symbols on the other. Bronze coins issued by the emperor often bear his monogram.
