| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Constantine I rendered in the late Roman imperial style, rosette-diademed, draped, and cuirassed. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic strong profile with a prominent jaw, the rosette diadem clearly visible across the brow. The paludamentum is fastened at the right shoulder, and the cuirass is finely detailed. The encircling Latin legend reads CONSTANTI-NVS MAX AVG, distributed around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | Two helmeted, draped, and cuirassed soldiers stand facing one another in a confronted pose, each holding a reversed spear in the outer hand while resting the inner hand upon a grounded shield. Between the two figures stand two military standards, with a christogram cross (Chi-Rho or plain cross) prominently displayed between them, reflecting Constantinian religious symbolism. The reverse legend GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS is distributed across the field, and the exergue contains the officina mark and mintmark identifying the Aquileia mint. |
