| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Constantine I facing right, the emperor portrayed with idealised features and finely rendered layered armour visible at the shoulder. The effigy is executed in the confident, high-relief style characteristic of the Treveri mint in the early Constantinian period. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG, distributed around the bust within a beaded border. The portrait conveys imperial authority and divine favour, consistent with the propagandistic imagery of Constantine's early sole reign. |

| Reverse description | Sol Invictus stands facing, head turned left and crowned with a radiate crown, rendered as a nude or lightly draped figure in a commanding upright stance. The god raises his right hand in salutation while holding a globe in his left, symbolising universal dominion. The field is divided by the control marks B to the left and S to the right of the figure. The reverse legend SOLI INVIC-TO COMITI encircles the type within a beaded border, and the mint mark PTR appears in the exergue, identifying the first officina of the Treveri mint. |
