| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Constantius II as Caesar, pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed, rendered in the late Roman imperial style. The portrait exhibits a youthful effigy with close-cropped hair beneath a pearl diadem, the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The obverse legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his full titulature in Latin capitals. The die work is characteristic of the Cyzicus mint, with competent if provincial execution. |

| Reverse description | Two helmeted, draped, and cuirassed soldiers stand facing one another, each grasping a spear in the outer hand while resting the inner hand upon a grounded shield. Between the two figures rise two military standards, the iconic GLORIA EXERCITVS type introduced under Constantine I. The reverse legend is divided across the field on either side of the central device. The mintmark and officina letter appear in the exergue, identifying the issue's place and workshop of production. |
