| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Constans facing right, wearing a pearl diadem adorned with rosettes and pendilia falling behind the neck. The emperor is depicted in military attire, with elaborate pteryges visible at the shoulder and a fibula securing a paludamentum (military cloak) over the cuirass. The finely engraved portrait reflects the refined workshop style of the Thessalonica mint. The surrounding legend reads FL IVL CON-STANS P F AVG, separated by the bust, all within a beaded border. |
