| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Emperor Constans I, adorned with a pearl diadem, draped in imperial paludamentum and cuirassed, rendered in the standard late Roman portrait style. The effigy displays carefully articulated curled hair beneath the diadem, with paludamentum folds visible at the truncation. The encircling Latin legend is divided across the field, reading D N CONSTA-NS P F AVG. The portrait conveys imperial authority through its formal, frontal-leaning profile composition typical of the Constantinian dynasty coinage. |

| Obverse lettering | D N CONSTA-NS P F AVG (Translation: Our Lord Constans I, pious, successful emperor.) |
| Reverse description | The mythological phoenix, shown radiate with outstretched wings, stands in profile to the right atop a globus, symbolising the eternal renewal of Rome and the return of a golden age. The bird's radiate crown and carefully rendered plumage reflect the engraver's intent to evoke the solar, immortal character of the phoenix legend. The reverse legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO encircles the design. The exergue contains the mintmark of the Treveri mint followed by an officina letter and a star, identifying the issuing workshop. |
