| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Constantius I facing right, rendered with fine engraving typical of the Diocletianic reform coinage. The portrait displays a strong, idealized profile with closely cropped hair beneath a laurel wreath, bare neck and truncation at the shoulder. The Latin legend CONSTANTIVS CAESAR encircles the effigy, reading clockwise from the left field. |

| Reverse description | The four Tetrarchs, shown as equal figures in military dress, sacrificing together over a flaming tripod altar at center. The group stands before a six-turreted camp gate or enclosure, its crenellated walls and twin towers clearly rendered in high relief, symbolizing the unity and military strength of the Tetrarchy. The composition is framed by the Latin legend VIRTVS MILITVM, divided across the left and right fields, celebrating the valor of the soldiers and the shared imperial ideal. |
