| Obverse description | Radiate, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Crispus facing right, seen from behind, with the cuirass and paludamentum rendered in fine detail. The portrait conveys the youthful features of the Caesar, consistent with early Constantinian dynastic imagery. The obverse legend encircles the bust within a beaded border. The effigy reflects the propagandistic intent of elevating Crispus as a legitimate heir within the imperial college. |
