| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Emperor Constantius II, rendered in the late Roman imperial style, adorned with a pearl diadem, draped paludamentum over the shoulders, and cuirassed chest. The portrait is executed in low relief with characteristic fourth-century stylization. The obverse legend encircles the effigy in Latin capitals, reading D N CONSTAN-TIVS P F AVG, identifying the emperor as pious and felix Augustus. The flan is irregular, as typical of late Roman aes coinage from this period. |

| Reverse description | A helmeted Roman soldier advances to the left in military dress, depicted draped and cuirassed, thrusting a spear downward with his right hand at a fallen barbarian horseman below him; his left arm bears a large round shield, and an additional shield appears on the ground to the right. The vanquished horseman, wearing a distinctive pointed Phrygian-style cap, faces the soldier and raises his left arm in a gesture of supplication. The control mark M appears in the left field. The exergue contains the mint and officina marks specific to the Siscia mint, indicating production under RIC VIII 369. The reverse legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO encircles the scene, proclaiming the restoration of prosperous times. |
