| Obverse description | Laureate, cuirassed bust of Crispus facing left, depicted as Caesar. The effigy presents him in military attire, with a spear held pointing forward in the right hand and a shield on the left arm, conveying an image of imperial martial authority. The legend is divided across the field, encircling the portrait. The portrait style is characteristic of the Constantinian workshop at Londinium, with sharply defined facial features and disciplined engraving. |
