| Obverse description | Frontal bust of Emperor Anastasius I, helmeted and cuirassed, with elaborate imperial regalia including a jewelled breastplate. The emperor holds a spear over his right shoulder and a shield decorated with a horseman motif is visible to the left. The bust is rendered in the stylised late antique manner characteristic of Burgundian imitative coinage, with a frontal facing portrait rather than the profile convention of earlier Roman issues. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the bust within the beaded border of the coin. |
