| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Licinius I facing right, depicted with a short-cropped military portrait typical of the Tetrarchic period. The imperial effigy is rendered in a robust, stylized manner characteristic of early 4th-century Roman coinage. The surrounding Latin legend reads IMP VAL LIC LICINIVS PF AVG, distributed clockwise around the bust within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The genius of the emperor, a youthful male figure, stands facing left in the field, nude save for a chlamys draped over the left shoulder. He holds a patera in his extended right hand and a cornucopiae in his left, symbolizing imperial abundance and divine favour. A star appears in the left field and a crescent in the right field. The reverse legend GENIO IMPERATORIS is disposed around the type, and the mintmark HTΓ appears in the exergue, identifying this issue as the third officina of the Heraclea mint. |
