| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Licinius I facing right, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of early Tetrarchic and post-Tetrarchic imperial portraiture. The emperor's features are robust and naturalistic, with a short beard and pronounced musculature of the neck and jaw. The laurel wreath, symbol of imperial victory and divine favour, is depicted with careful detail atop the head. The legend encircles the portrait field, reading from left to right along the coin's periphery within a plain border. |
