| Obverse description | Bust of Constantine II (Caesar) facing left, presented from behind, wearing a radiate crown, draped paludamentum, and cuirass. The effigy is rendered in the imperial military style characteristic of Constantinian coinage, with the bust shown in a three-quarter rear view — an unusual and distinctive orientation. The obverse legend, reading CONSTANTINVS IVN N C (or variant), encircles the bust, identifying the subject as Constantine the Younger, Noble Caesar. |
