| Obverse lettering | DV CONSTANTI-NVS PT AVGG (Translation: Divine Constantine Father of the Augusts) |
| Reverse description | The deified Constantine I is depicted veiled and draped, standing facing right in a posture of solemn veneration, rendered in the hieratic style typical of posthumous consecratio coinage. The field to the right contains a single dot serving as a control mark. The reverse legend VN - MR, divided on either side of the central figure, is understood as an abbreviation of VENERAT-IO MEMORIAE, meaning 'Veneration of the Memory,' a formula associated with imperial consecration issues. The exergue bears the mint mark of the Cyzicus workshop (SMK with officina letter). The overall composition reflects the standardized reversal type employed across multiple mints during the 347–348 commemorative emission under Constantius II. |
