| Obverse description | Rightward-facing laureate bust of Constantine II as Caesar, draped and cuirassed, rendered in the late Roman imperial style characteristic of the Constantinian period. The youthful effigy displays close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath, with visible paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and scale armour beneath. The encircling Latin legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The portrait exhibits the idealized yet juvenile features appropriate to Constantine II's status as Nobilissimus Caesar at the time of issue. |
