| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Emperor Constantius II, rendered in the late Roman imperial style with a pearl diadem, draped paludamentum, and cuirass visible at the shoulder. The effigy is depicted in high relief against a plain field, with finely modelled facial features characteristic of Constantinian-era portraiture. The circumferential Latin legend runs from left to right around the bust, separated by a beaded border. The paludamentum is fastened at the right shoulder, and the layered drapery folds are rendered with notable detail for a base-metal issue of this period. |

| Obverse lettering | D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG (Translation: Our Lord Constantius, pious, successful emperor.) |
| Reverse description | A helmeted Roman soldier, draped and cuirassed, strides to the left, thrusting a spear downward with his right hand into a fallen horseman below; his left arm bears a large round shield, and a second shield lies on the ground to the right. The vanquished horseman, depicted on horseback, twists to face his attacker and raises his left arm in a gesture of supplication or defence. A value mark appears in the left field, while the mint signature and officina letter followed by a dot are inscribed in the exergue. The composition exemplifies the widely disseminated FEL TEMP REPARATIO reverse type, symbolising the restoration of Roman military supremacy. |
