| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Emperor Constantius II, pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed, rendered in the late Roman imperial portrait style characteristic of the Siscia mint. The effigy displays the emperor in three-quarter view with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, identifying the emperor as Dominus Noster with the epithets Pius Felix Augustus. The flan is small and irregular, consistent with the reduced nummus coinage of the mid-fourth century. |

| Reverse description | A Roman soldier standing left, thrusting a spear downward at a fallen horseman who is depicted kneeling or collapsed beneath him. The fallen figure, identified as a barbarian enemy, wears a Phrygian helmet and reaches backward in a gesture of defeat, a composition standard to the FEL TEMP REPARATIO series. The letter M appears in the left field as a secondary control mark. The exergue carries the officina letter followed by the mintmark SISD, identifying production at Siscia. The encircling legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO — 'The restoration of happy times' — frames the reverse type. |
