| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and sometimes cuirassed bust of Constantius I Chlorus facing right, rendered from a rear three-quarter perspective. The legend encircles the bust and reads FL VAL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES, identifying the Caesar in full titulature. The portrait exhibits the characteristic late Tetrarchic style with a stylized, idealized treatment of the imperial features. The radiate crown, composed of pointed rays, denotes the denomination and echoes Antoninianus iconographic tradition adapted to the Diocletianic reform coinage. |

| Reverse description | Jupiter, nude and bearded, stands left, leaning on a long sceptre held in his left hand, while presenting a small Victory on a globe to Constantius I Chlorus, who stands right in military dress — draped and cuirassed — extending his right hand to receive the figure. The scene symbolizes divine sanction of imperial victory and Tetrarchic legitimacy, a canonical reverse type under Diocletian's reformed coinage. The reverse legend CONCORDIA MI-LITVM, meaning 'harmony of the soldiers,' frames the composition. The mintmark and officina letter appear in the field, with a dot in the exergue, consistent with the Cyzicus mint's second officina (KB in field, • in exergue). |
