| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Constantius II facing right, depicted as Caesar, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The effigy displays the characteristic late Constantinian style with close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath and a prominent military cuirass with decorative shoulder fitting. The encircling Latin legend FL IVL CONSTANTIVS NOB C runs along the beaded border, identifying the subject as Flavius Julius Constantius in his capacity as most noble Caesar. The portrait is rendered in the official imperial workshop style of the period, with bold, slightly stylized facial features typical of the Cyzicus mint. |
