Beschrijving voorzijde Right-facing draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Constantius II, adorned with a pearl diadem, the strands of which are rendered in careful detail at the temple and nape. The emperor's hair is finely engraved in parallel ridges swept back beneath the diadem, and the paludamentum is fastened at the right shoulder with a circular fibula. The obverse legend is disposed in two arcs around the periphery of the flan, reading CONSTAN-TIVS AVG. The high-relief portrait displays the characteristic late Roman imperial style, with an elongated profile and strong facial modeling.

Beschrijving keerzijde Victory personified, winged and draped, seated right upon a cuirass with a shield propped behind her; she supports an inscribed votive shield upon her left knee, while a small winged genius assists in holding it from the opposite side. The shield bears the votive inscription VOT XXX, commemorating the emperor's thirtieth anniversary vows. The reverse legend VICTORIA AVGVSTI N encircles the composition, and the mint mark SMN appears in the exergue, denoting the Nicomedia mint. The scene is rendered in the refined engraving style characteristic of the eastern imperial workshops of the mid-fourth century.
