Reverse description Jupiter standing left, nude except for a chlamys draped over his left shoulder, holding a small Victory on a globe in his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his left hand. To the left, an eagle stands facing right, holding a laurel wreath in its beak, serving as Jupiter's sacred attribute. An officina letter appears in the right field, and the mint mark SMK is placed in the exergue. The composition is monumental and hieratic, reflecting the theological programme associating Constantine with Jupiter's divine protection.
