| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Constantine I rendered in high relief, wearing a rosette-diadem of beaded strands adorned with a prominent central gem, the hair elaborately waved and curled in the late Constantinian court style. The emperor is depicted draped and cuirassed, with the paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder, conveying both imperial authority and military dignity. The portrait displays the characteristic idealized physiognomy of Constantine's later coinage, with a strong jawline and commanding profile. The circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy close to the beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A winged, draped Victory strides purposefully to the left, bearing a large trophy over her right shoulder and a palm branch in her raised left hand, symbols of Roman military supremacy. In the right field, the votive inscription VOT/XXX appears in two lines, commemorating Constantine's thirty-year vows. The exergue carries the mint signature SMAN, denoting the Antioch mint officina. The composition is framed by a beaded border, and the legend arcing around the field proclaims the emperor's victory. |
