Constantine I, known as "The Great," was the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity and the founder of Constantinople. He legalized the Christian faith through the Edict of Milan (313 A.D.) and commissioned major religious structures, including Old St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. At the pivotal Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 A.D., he defeated Maxentius after instructing his soldiers to mark their shields with a Christian symbol inspired by a vision. Upon unifying the empire under his sole rule, he was baptized shortly before his death in 337 A.D. His reign permanently reshaped the religious and political landscape of Western civilization.

The reverse depicts Victoria, the personification of victory equivalent to the Greek goddess Nike. Widely portrayed as a winged figure, her imagery persisted into the Christian era, gradually evolving into the winged angel motif in Christian iconography.
