| Obverse description | Helmeted and cuirassed bust of Crispus as Caesar facing left, depicted in military attire with a crested helmet and visible pauldron detailing. The portrait presents the young Caesar in a martial, authoritative style characteristic of Constantinian dynastic coinage. The surrounding legend reads CRISPVS NOBIL C, identifying him as most noble Caesar. The die work reflects the competent engraving style of the Londinium mint workshop of the early fourth century AD. |

| Reverse description | A decorated altar or base, surmounted by a globe, occupies the central field, with three stars arranged across its face and the votive inscription VOT / IS / XX inscribed in three lines within the altar panel. Three additional stars appear in the lower exergual area flanking the mint mark. The legend BEATA TRANQVILLITAS arcs across the upper field, invoking blessed peace. In the exergue, the mint mark PLON identifies the issuing workshop as Londinium. The design is characteristic of the Constantinian BEATA TRANQVILLITAS type struck throughout the western mints circa 321–324 AD. |
