| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing bust of Emperor Constantius II, adorned with a pearl diadem, draped in imperial paludamentum and clad in cuirass, rendered in the characteristic late Roman style with finely detailed pearl beading along the diadem. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic clean-shaven visage with an idealized, youthful profile. The encircling Latin legend reads D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, separated by a beaded border. The truncation of the bust reveals the articulated plates of the cuirass and the folded drapery of the paludamentum beneath. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The FEL TEMP REPARATIO ("happy times are returning") coinage was one of the most ambitious propaganda campaigns in late Roman monetary history, launched under Constantius II following the usurpation of Magnentius in 350. The falling horseman type — the most common of the three FEL TEMP reverses — flooded the empire's mints simultaneously, a coordinated response meant to project stability at a moment when civil war had fractured imperial authority across the western provinces.
Constantinople's mint was expanding rapidly in this period, and RIC VIII 118 is among the issues attributable to its early organizational phase. Bankers' marks appear with some frequency on pieces from this mint and denomination.
