| Obverse description | Bare-headed and draped bust of Julian II as Caesar facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial style. The portrait depicts the young Caesar with cropped hair and cuirassed or draped shoulders, as befitting his junior imperial rank. The circumferential Latin legend D N CL IVLIANVS NOB CAES runs around the periphery, identifying him as Dominus Noster Claudius Julianus, Nobilissimus Caesar. The flan is irregular and the surface heavily patinated with corrosion, partially obscuring the finer details of the effigy. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Reverse description | A standing military figure, identified as Julian II or the personification of the state, depicted facing left and clad in military attire, holding a standard or spear in the right hand and resting the left on a shield. The reverse legend SPES REI-PVBLICE, meaning 'Hope of the Republic', is distributed across the field in two segments divided by the central figure. The mint mark CONS, accompanied by an officina letter, is visible in the exergue, attributing the issue to the Constantinople mint. The flan exhibits characteristic late Roman irregular edges and heavy brown patination consistent with prolonged burial. A beaded or dotted border encircles the reverse design. |
