Obverse description Laureate, helmeted, and cuirassed bust of Constantine I facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed military attire. The crested helmet sits over a laurel wreath, conveying both imperial and martial authority. The cuirass is elaborately decorated, indicative of the emperor's role as commander-in-chief. The circumscribed Latin legend encircles the bust from left to right along the rim. The portrait displays the strong, idealized physiognomy characteristic of Constantinian coinage from the Siscia mint.
