| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Flavia Maxima Fausta facing right, wearing an imperial mantle, her hair waved and drawn back into a bun at the nape of the neck. The portrait is rendered in the late Constantinian court style, conveying imperial dignity. The encircling Latin legend identifies the empress by her full honorific titles. The effigy occupies the full coin field in the standard late Roman imperial portrait convention. |
