| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Constans facing right, draped and cuirassed, rendered in the late Roman imperial style typical of the Constantinian dynasty. The obverse legend encircles the effigy, reading D N CONSTA-NS P F AVG, identifying the emperor by his titles Dominus Noster, Pius Felix Augustus. The portrait displays the characteristic features of Constantinian coinage, with a stylized laurel wreath and paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The coin shows significant wear and patination consistent with a circulated bronze nummus of the period. |

| Reverse description | Two helmeted, draped, and cuirassed soldiers stand facing one another, their heads inclined slightly inward, each holding an inverted spear in the outer hand while the inner hand rests upon a grounded shield. A single military standard is positioned between them, symbolizing the unity and strength of the Roman army. The legend GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS* is distributed across the field, proclaiming the Glory of the Army, a common reverse type under the sons of Constantine I. The mintmark and officina letter appear in the exergue, identifying the issuing workshop of the Cyzicus mint. |
