| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Constantine I facing right, depicted with finely rendered hair and military dress including paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The emperor's portrait is rendered in the robust, naturalistic style characteristic of early Constantinian coinage. The circular legend reads IMP CONSTANTINVS P F AVG, distributed around the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Sol Invictus depicted standing facing left, nude save for a chlamys draped over his left shoulder, his radiate crown prominently rendered. His right hand is raised in salutation while his left holds a globe, symbolising his dominion over the world. The reverse legend SOLI INVI-C-TO COMITI surrounds the figure, with the mint mark visible in the exergue. The scene is enclosed within a beaded border, consistent with Ticinum mint production of this period. |
