| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Constantius Gallus as Caesar, draped and cuirassed, facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial style with fine drapery folds over the cuirass. A Greek letter delta (Δ) appears in the field behind the bust, serving as a control mark denoting the fourth officina. The obverse legend encircles the bust, identifying the subject by his imperial titulature. The portrait exhibits the characteristic late antique stylization of the Constantinian period, with an elongated neck and schematic facial features. |

| Reverse description | A Roman soldier, helmeted, draped, and cuirassed, strides dynamically to the left, thrusting a spear downward with his right hand into a fallen enemy horseman who wears a distinctive pointed Phrygian-style cap. The soldier's left arm bears a shield, while a second shield lies on the ground to the right, enriching the martial composition. The fallen horseman, depicted below the soldier's feet, raises his left arm in a gesture of supplication or defense. The letter S appears in the left field as an additional control mark, while the mint signature and officina letter are recorded in the exergue. The reverse type, known as the 'fallen horseman' FEL TEMP REPARATIO issue, was ubiquitous across all mints of the late Constantinian dynasty from circa 348 onward. |
