| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constans as Caesar facing right, rendered in the late Constantinian style characteristic of the Thessalonica mint. The laureate wreath is depicted with fine detail, and the paludamentum and cuirass are visible at the truncation. The encircling Latin legend reads CONSTANS NOB CAES, identifying the young prince in his capacity as Nobillisimus Caesar. A beaded border frames the entire obverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The GLORIA EXERCITVS type was introduced empire-wide following Constantine I's reorganization of the coinage in 330 AD, issued simultaneously from mints stretching from Trier to Antioch as a deliberate assertion of military unity across a increasingly fractured administration. By 335–336, the two-soldier, two-standard variant was already transitioning to the single-standard type — a reduction likely tied to bronze weight reforms rather than any symbolic intention. Thessalonica's output for Constans during this window reflects his junior status; he had been elevated to Caesar only in 333, and coins struck in his name before Constantine I's death in 337 carry that subordinate rank.
