| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Constantine II as Caesar, adorned with a pearl diadem tied with ribbons falling behind the neck, the effigy draped and cuirassed. The diadem is rendered with a distinctive row of beaded pearls surmounted by a central rosette, clearly visible above the ear. The cuirass is partially visible at the truncation, with the paludamentum (military cloak) fastened at the right shoulder by a circular fibula. The Latin legend encircles the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Two helmeted and cuirassed soldiers stand facing one another in a symmetrical composition, each holding a vertical spear in the outer hand while resting the inner hand upon a grounded shield. Between the two figures stand two military standards, their shafts terminating in decorative finials. The reverse legend GLORIA EXERCITVS is divided across the field on either side of the central group, reading GLOR-IA to the left and EXERC-ITVS to the right. The mint signature and officina letter appear in the exergue below a ground line. |
