Obverse description Laureate bust of Constantine I facing right, draped and cuirassed, rendered in the sturdy, idealised style characteristic of the Constantinian period. The radiate wreath crown is clearly articulated with individual laurel leaves, and the emperor’s strong jawline and prominent brow reflect the official imperial portrait type established after 310 AD. The legend CONSTAN-TINVS AVG runs in a circular arc around the effigy, divided across both sides of the field. A beaded border frames the design.

Reverse description A camp gate depicted frontally with two battlemented turrets, no doors visible at the gateway arch, and five to six courses of stone masonry rendered in a stylised horizontal-register pattern. A six-pointed star appears in the upper field above the gate, symbolising divine favour and celestial protection. The legend PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG arcs across the upper field, while the London mint mark PLON occupies the exergue. A beaded border encircles the entire design.
