Reverse description Two helmeted soldiers standing facing one another in symmetrical composition, each clad in military attire with cloak and cuirass; each soldier holds an inverted spear with his outer hand while resting his inner hand upon a grounded shield. Between the two figures stands a single legionary standard surmounted by the Christogram (Chi-Rho monogram), symbolizing Constantine's Christian reform of the Roman military. The reverse legend is divided above and below the central field, with the mint mark appearing in the exergue. The composition reflects the GLORIA EXERCITVS type introduced under Constantine I and continued under his sons, here in its later one-standard variant.
