| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in a somewhat barbarous style characteristic of Gepid coinage. The effigy is encircled by a Latin legend reading D N ANASTASIVS I AVC, invoking the imperial title of Dominus Noster Augustus. The portrait, while derived from contemporary Byzantine prototypes, displays the simplified and crude workmanship typical of post-Roman Germanic imitative issues. The fields surrounding the bust are irregularly shaped due to the hammered flan. |
