For those who might be interested, bronze coins of Constantine the Great are easily available for only a few dollars. You can get a nice one with easily readable legends for less than $10. Only trick is to get the real, original Constantine II, instead of his kids—Constantine JR, Constans, Constantius II. But any of them are over 1600 years old and with some of his kids, you might see signs of Christianity on the coins—the Chi Rho.

He was Constantine I. His son was Constantine II. But you're right. It is easy to get your hands on bronze coins from his reign. Cool stuff.
