Obverse description Stylized bust of Emperor Justin II facing right, rendered in the debased barbarian tradition characteristic of Lombard coinage. The effigy displays a diademed or helmeted head with schematic facial features, draped bust visible below. A retrograde or degraded Latin legend surrounds the portrait in the field, partially legible. The overall style reflects the Lombard imitation of late Roman imperial prototypes, with noticeably crude engraving compared to Byzantine originals.
