| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Emperor Constantius II, depicted rosette-diademed, draped, and cuirassed, rendered in the late Roman imperial style. The emperor's effigy shows a pearl-rosette diadem adorning the head, with paludamentum and cuirass visible at the truncation. The surrounding Latin legend reads CONSTANTI-VS P F AVG, identifying the emperor by name with his titles Pius Felix Augustus. The flan is irregular, characteristic of struck late Roman small bronze coinage, and the portrait, though worn, retains the authoritative profile typical of the Constantinian dynasty. |

| Reverse description | Two winged Victories, draped, stand facing one another in a symmetrical composition at the centre of the field. Each figure extends her right hand to offer a wreath and holds a palm branch in her left hand, symbolising imperial triumph and divine favour. The main reverse legend VICTORIAE DD AVGG Q NN encircles the type, translating as 'To the Victories of our two Lords and Emperors,' referencing Constantius II and Constans. The mintmark εSIS appears in the exergue, denoting the fifth officina of the Siscia mint. The overall design reflects the standardised late Roman Victory iconography adopted across multiple mints during the 347–348 period. |
