Obverse description Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constans I facing right, portrayed with a pearl diadem and paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the typical late Roman military style, with fine detailing on the cuirass partially obscured by patination. The surrounding circular legend reads CONSTANS P F AVG, distributed across the field from the upper left to the right margin. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hammered production of this period.

Reverse description Two Victories standing facing one another, each holding a wreath in the extended hand and a palm branch in the other, flanking a votive shield or wreath set upon a low altar or column at center. The composition is symmetrical and emblematic of imperial triumph, a common type for the VICTORIAE DD AVGGQ NN issue of 347–348. The reverse legend VICTORIAE DD AVGGQ NN encircles the design, with the officina letter and mint mark ASIS, BSIS, or ΓSIS appearing in the exergue. The overall relief is moderately worn, with the central motif partially legible beneath the coin's characteristic green patina.
