| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Justinian I facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial tradition. The effigy is encircled by a Latin legend reading D N IVSTI - NIAN AVC, identifying the emperor as perpetual Augustus. The portrait is executed in a stylized, somewhat flat manner characteristic of Ostrogothic coinage struck in the name of the Byzantine emperor. Pearl diadem details are visible along the crown of the bust. |
