| Obverse description | Facing right, the laureate and rosette-diademed bust of Emperor Constans I, draped and cuirassed, rendered in the late Roman imperial style. The obverse legend CONSTAN-S P F AVG (Constans Pius Felix Augustus) runs around the periphery, divided to either side of the portrait. The diadem is adorned with rosettes, indicating a mid-fourth-century dating convention, while the cuirass and drapery over the left shoulder convey the emperor's military authority. |

The reverse legend VICTORIAE DD AVGGQ NN (Victories of Our Two Augustuses) encircles the design, referencing the joint rule of Constans and Constantius II. A mintmark in the exergue identifies the officina of the Aquileia mint. The scene is rendered in the conventional late Roman style, with stylised drapery and symmetrical figural arrangement. |
