| Obverse description | Right-facing pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I, rendered in the late Roman imperial tradition. The effigy is set within a beaded border and encircled by a Latin legend identifying the emperor. The portrait style reflects the Burgundian imitation of contemporary Byzantine coinage, with characteristic simplified facial features and regalia indicative of a Germanic workshop. |

| Reverse description | Winged Victory striding to the right, holding a wreath in her extended hand, rendered in the standard late antique Victory type derived from Byzantine tremissis coinage. The figure is set within a beaded border and surrounded by a Latin legend. The exergual inscription CONOB denotes the gold fineness standard of Constantinople, here used as a conventional mark of quality on this Burgundian imitation. |
