| Obverse description | Bare-necked, laureate bust of Constantine I facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed wreath of laurel leaves secured by a single tie at the nape. The emperor's strong, idealized profile features a prominent brow, large eye, and clean-shaven jaw in the late Constantinian court style. The obverse legend is divided to either side of the bust within the field. No drapery is visible on the truncation, presenting the bust in the heroic, cuirassed or bare manner typical of this series. |

| Reverse description | A camp gate with two tall, crenellated turrets occupies the central field, depicted without doors and with a varying number of horizontal stone courses on the gatehouse between the towers. A single star appears in the upper field above the gate, serving as a celestial symbol of imperial authority. A dot is present in the right field. The reverse legend PROVIDEN-TIAE AVGG, invoking the providential care of the two Augusti, is distributed to either side across the upper field. The officina letter and mint signature appear in the exergue. |
