| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Anastasius I facing right, wearing a pearl diadem and elaborate imperial costume with visible paludamentum. The effigy is rendered in the late Roman style with fine engraving, the emperor's features depicted in a stylized yet authoritative manner characteristic of Ostrogothic gold coinage struck in the name of the Eastern emperor. The obverse legend arcs around the bust, reading D N ANASTA - SIVS PF AVG, identifying the ruler as Dominus Noster Anastasius Perpetuus Felix Augustus. |
