| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantius II facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial style with stylized drapery folds visible at the shoulder. The emperor's effigy displays a string of pearls forming the diadem, a hallmark of Constantinian-era coinage. The legend encircles the bust in a continuous band around the coin's periphery. |

| Reverse description | A Roman soldier, helmeted and in military dress, stands to the left thrusting a spear downward at a fallen enemy horseman who is bare-headed and bearded, depicted reaching backward with one arm in a gesture of supplication or defiance. The scene embodies the FEL TEMP REPARATIO ('The return of happy times') propagandistic type, celebrating Roman military supremacy over barbarian foes. The mintmark CONSA appears in the exergue, indicating production at the first officina of the Constantinople mint. |
