| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Constantine I facing right, rendered in the confident imperial portrait style of the early Constantinian period. The emperor's effigy displays sharply defined facial features with a strong jaw, the laurel wreath clearly articulated atop his head. The cuirass is indicated at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG, running clockwise around the field, separated from the design by a dotted border. |

| Obverse lettering | IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG (Translation: Constantine, pious and blessed august) |
| Reverse description | Radiate, draped bust of Sol (the Sun god) facing right, the radiate crown rendered with prominent outward-pointing rays framing the deity's head in a manner evocative of earlier radiate coinage. The drapery falls across the left shoulder. Sol is depicted in a quasi-divine portrait style distinguishing him from the imperial obverse. The encircling Latin legend SOLI INVICTO COMITI runs around the field within a dotted border, identifying Sol as the unconquered companion of the emperor. |
