| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded head of Constantius I facing right, rendered with finely engraved hair and beard consistent with Tetrarchic portraiture conventions. The effigy displays a strong, naturalistic profile with the laurel wreath tied at the nape. The encircling legend reads CONSTANTIVS NOB C, distributed around the periphery of the flan. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Reverse description | Hercules depicted nude, standing facing with head turned to the left, his weight resting on a club held in his right hand, with a bow carried in his left hand. A lion's skin is draped over his left shoulder and a quiver is visible behind his right shoulder, identifying him as the divine patron of the Herculian dynasty. The legend HERCVLI CONSER AVGG ET CAESS NN surrounds the figure, with the Trier mintmark TR inscribed in the exergue. The composition reflects the ideological program of the Tetrarchy associating the Caesars with Hercules. |
