| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Constans I facing right, portrayed as a youthful Caesar with finely rendered hair beneath a laurel wreath. The effigy displays paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, consistent with the Caesaral iconography of the Constantinian dynasty. The circumferential legend reads FL CONSTANTIS BEA C, identifying the subject as Flavius Constans, Beatissimus Caesar. The portrait occupies the full field of this small bronze, executed in the late Constantinian style characteristic of the Siscia mint. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of hammered issues of this period. |

| Obverse lettering | FL CONSTANTIS BEA C (Translation: FLavii CONSTANTIS BEAtissimi Caesaris (Flavius Constans Blessed Caesar)) |
| Reverse description | Two helmeted Roman soldiers standing facing one another, each clad in military attire and resting on a grounded spear held in the outer hand, with an inner hand supporting a shield set at their feet. Between the two soldiers stands a single legionary standard surmounted by a round finial, the defining feature distinguishing this two-standard type's later single-standard variant as issued for Constans as Caesar. The encircling legend GLORIA EXERCITVS proclaims the glory of the army. The mint mark in the exergue denotes the Siscia officina, with the delta (∆) indicating the fourth workshop. |
