| Obverse description | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Constantius Gallus facing right, portrayed as Caesar in the late Roman military style. The effigy displays finely rendered layered pauldrons over the cuirass, with the paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend DN FL CL CONSTANTIVS NOB CAES runs clockwise around the periphery, separated from the portrait by a plain inner border. The portrait conveys the youthful physiognomy characteristic of Gallus's Caesarship coinage from the Cyzicus mint. |

| Reverse description | A helmeted Roman soldier, depicted in full military attire and seen from the front, stands to the left holding a spear or standard in his right hand and steadying a shield with his left. He is shown spearing a fallen horseman who lies beneath him, the unhorsed enemy rendered in a suppliant posture at lower center — the canonical FEL TEMP REPARATIO 'falling horseman' reverse type. The legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO arcs around the upper field, divided by a line break, while the officina letter Γ appears in the left or right field. The mint mark in the exergue identifies the Cyzicus workshop. |
