| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Emperor Constantius II, pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed, rendered in the late Roman imperial style characteristic of the mid-fourth century. The pearl diadem is clearly articulated across the brow, with the hair elaborately styled behind. The cuirass and paludamentum are visible at the truncation, lending the portrait an authoritative martial character. The encircling Latin legend identifies the emperor by name and title, reading from the upper left around the periphery of the flan. |

| Reverse description | A Roman soldier, helmeted, draped, and cuirassed, strides energetically to the left, thrusting a spear downward with his right hand into a fallen horseman. The soldier's left arm bears a large round shield, with a second shield visible on the ground to the right. The fallen horseman, wearing a distinctive pointed Phrygian-style cap, faces the advancing soldier and raises his right arm in a gesture of supplication or defense. The mint mark and officina letter appear in the exergue, identifying the Cyzicus mint. The reverse legend, divided across the field, proclaims the FEL TEMP REPARATIO type, one of the most widely produced bronze coin types of the Constantinian era. |
