| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantius I Chlorus facing right, rendered in the standard tetrarchic military style. The radiate crown, composed of pointed rays, identifies the denomination as an antoninianus. The paludamentum is fastened at the shoulder, and the cuirass is partially visible beneath the drapery. The obverse legend CONSTANTIVS NOB C arcs around the bust, identifying the emperor in his capacity as Caesar. The portrait exhibits the characteristic short-cropped hair and strong profile typical of the Diocletianic period. |

| Reverse description | Constantius I Chlorus, depicted in military attire — draped and cuirassed — stands facing right, holding a spear in his right hand while with his left he raises a kneeling turreted female figure, personifying a city or province, who holds a cornucopiae in her left arm. The composition is a well-known pietas type associating the Caesar's virtuous governance with the prosperity of the realm. The reverse legend PIETAS AVGG is distributed in the field, with the mint mark PTR (Treveri) in the exergue and the officina letter C in the left field. |
