| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantius I as Caesar facing right, rendered in the late Roman tetrarchic style with pronounced military character. The radiate crown projects in multiple points above the head, while the paludamentum is visible at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend runs along the outer rim of the flan, naming the emperor in his capacity as Caesar under the Tetrarchy. The coin exhibits the typical characteristics of a Cyzican mint product of the Diocletianic reform period, with a somewhat irregular flan and bold, compact portraiture. |

| Reverse description | Constantius I, in full military attire, stands facing left, his gaze turned right toward Jupiter. Jupiter, standing to the right and looking left, extends a Victory on a globe toward the Caesar with his right hand while leaning upon a long sceptre with his left. A mintmark appears in the middle field between the two figures. The composition embodies the Tetrarchic ideology of divine sanction for imperial authority, presenting the Caesar as a recipient of celestial legitimacy. The exergue and field carry the officina letter identifying the specific workshop of the Cyzicus mint. |
