| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in a late antique style characteristic of Ostrogothic coinage struck in the imperial name. The bust is depicted with a beaded diadem and a paludamentum, consistent with Byzantine imperial iconography. A circular legend surrounds the effigy, reading D N IVSTI-NIAN AVC, identifying the emperor as dominus noster Justinianus Augustus. The style is somewhat barbaric in execution, reflecting provincial Ravenna workshop production. Pellets appear in the field around the bust. |
