| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two schematically rendered standing figures face one another, each raising an inner hand to jointly support a long processional cross between them; the composition is a barbaric adaptation of the Victory-and-emperor or concordia type drawn from contemporary Byzantine silver coinage. The figures are depicted in simplified robes with incised linear folds, and the cross is surmounted by a small globus or pellet above the crossbar. The whole design is contained within a beaded border, with the field otherwise plain, consistent with the crude but vigorous die-cutting tradition of Gepid Sirmium. |

The Gepids occupied Sirmium — the strategically vital Pannonian city on the Sava River — following the collapse of Attila's empire in 454, and maintained the fiction of imperial legitimacy by striking coinage in the name of the reigning eastern emperor. Issuing silver fractions under Anastasius I's name was a political calculation, not a tribute: it kept local commerce credible and Roman merchants cooperative without surrendering any actual authority to Constantinople.
The MEC I unlisted status places this among the less-documented Gepid fractional issues, likely a product of Sirmium's mint during the contested years before Theoderic seized the city from the Gepids in 504.
