| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Licinius I facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial style with close-cropped hair beneath a laurel wreath and a short beard. The portrait displays the characteristic strong-jawed, authoritative profile typical of Tetrarchic and early Constantinian-era coinage. A dotted border frames the field, and the imperial titulature legend runs around the periphery in capital Latin letters. |

| Additional information |
Siscia — modern Sisak in Croatia — was one of the most strategically critical mints in the Roman west, positioned to supply the Danubian legions. This issue falls squarely within the uneasy period of the Licinian-Constantinian settlement following the Edict of Milan in 313, when Licinius controlled the eastern half of the empire and maintained a deliberately conservative, Jupiter-focused religious program while Constantine was drifting toward Christian patronage. The ideological gap between the two emperors, visible in their coinage choices, would eventually contribute to open war by 316.
