| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Crispus facing left, rendered in fine late Roman style with clearly articulated paludamentum and lorica. The laureate wreath crowns the prince's head, with ribbon ties visible behind the neck. The obverse legend encircles the portrait within a beaded border, identifying the subject as Caesar. The portrait exhibits the youthful, idealized features characteristic of Constantinian court coinage, with careful attention to the layered drapery at the shoulder. |

| Reverse description | Crispus, clad in toga, stands facing left in a formal consular pose, extending a globe in his right hand and holding a long sceptre in his left hand. The figure is rendered in a dignified, frontal-leaning stance appropriate to the celebration of his third consulate. The reverse legend commemorates the FELIX PROCESSVS — the auspicious accession — of his third consulship, with the mint signature SIRM placed in the exergue or legend field identifying the Sirmium mint. The composition reflects the ceremonial grandeur typical of Constantinian dynastic solidus coinage. |
