| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded head of Constantius I as Caesar facing right, rendered with fine detail showing short-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath with ribbon ties falling behind. The portrait displays strong naturalistic modeling typical of Tetrarchic workshop style, with a prominent jawline and close-cropped beard. The encircling Latin legend reads CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES, arranged around the field with a beaded border. The effigy occupies the full height of the flan, reflecting the high-relief hammered technique characteristic of Cyzicene aurei of this period. |
