| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constantius II facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial style characteristic of the mid-fourth century. The emperor's effigy occupies the central field, with the pearl diadem clearly denoting imperial status. The surrounding legend reads D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, distributed clockwise around the periphery and bordered by a beaded inner circle. The coin exhibits heavy bronze patination with areas of green cuprite corrosion, and the flan is noticeably irregular in outline, typical of Sirmium mint production of this period. |

| Reverse description | A Roman soldier, shown in full military attire and facing left, stands over a fallen enemy warrior who lies on the ground to the right. The soldier holds a spear directed downward toward the fallen foe and supports a shield on his left arm, embodying the FEL TEMP REPARATIO type associated with Roman military triumph and imperial renewal. The divided legend FEL TEMP - REPARATIO arcs across the upper field in two segments. The exergue contains the mint mark identifying the Sirmium officina (ASIRM or BSIRM), though heavily worn on this specimen. The overall relief is low and the surfaces are heavily encrusted, consistent with prolonged burial. |
