| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in the late antique hammered style typical of Carthaginian mint production. The emperor is depicted wearing a pearl diadem and imperial paludamentum, with the folds of the garment rendered in stylized horizontal lines across the lower bust. The portrait, though small in module, conveys the imperial dignity characteristic of early Byzantine silver coinage. The surrounding Latin legend reads D N IVSTINIANVS P P AG, identifying the emperor as Our Lord Justinian, Perpetual Augustus, distributed around the obverse field. |
