| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in a simplified, somewhat barbarous style characteristic of Gepid imitative coinage. The effigy is surrounded by a circular Latin legend reading D N ANASTASIVS P AV, denoting imperial authority. The portrait shows the flat, schematic treatment typical of this Sirmium issue, with the diadem visible along the crown of the head. The overall composition reflects the Gepid kingdom's adaptation of late Roman imperial iconography. |
