| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Constantine II as Caesar facing right, rendered in the conventional late Roman imperial style with detailed armor visible at the shoulder. The obverse legend encircles the effigy along the rim, reading CONSTANTINVS IVN NOB C, denoting his rank as Nobilissimus Caesar. The portrait exhibits the youthful features characteristic of Constantine II's early coinage, with a wreath of laurel leaves clearly indicated. The beaded border frames the entire obverse field. |

| Reverse description | Two helmeted, draped, and cuirassed soldiers stand facing one another, each grasping a spear in the outer hand while resting the inner hand upon a shield set at their feet. Between the two figures stand two military standards, a composition emblematic of the GLORIA EXERCITVS ('Glory of the Army') type. The reverse legend GLOR-IA EXERC-ITVS is divided on either side of the central group. The mintmark and officina letter appear in the exergue, taking the forms SMKA•, SMKΓ•, SMKΔ•, or SMKE• depending on the issuing workshop, identifying the Cyzicus mint. |
