The effigy displays cuirassed military dress beneath the drapery, conveying imperial authority. The surrounding Latin legend reads FL VAL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES, identifying the ruler as Flavius Valerius Constantius, Caesar, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Constantius I, depicted as Caesar in full military attire, stands facing right and receives a small Victory statuette mounted on a globe, presented by Jupiter who stands facing left. Jupiter leans upon a long sceptre with his free hand, symbolising divine sanction of imperial power. A star appears in the upper field between the two figures, and the Greek letter epsilon (Ε), denoting the 5th officina of the Antioch mint, is placed between them. The exergue carries the mint mark ANT, and the reverse legend CONCORDIA MILITVM, meaning Harmony with the Soldiers, encircles the scene. |
