| Obverse description | Frontal helmeted and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I, pearl-diademed, with a spear held over the right shoulder, rendered in the late antique Byzantine imperial style. The effigy is contained within a beaded border, enclosed by the surrounding Latin legend in the field. The portrait conveys the conventional idealized imperial image rather than a personal likeness, characteristic of Ostrogothic solidi struck in the name of the Eastern emperor. Fine granular die work is evident in the rendering of the helmet and cuirass detail. |
