| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in a somewhat barbarous Germanic imitative style with a distinctly pointed shoulder treatment characteristic of this series. The emperor wears an elaborate crown or diadem and imperial mantle, with the facial features simplified relative to official Byzantine prototypes. The bust is set within a beaded border, with the legend distributed around the periphery of the flan. The overall execution reflects the hand of a non-Byzantine celator reproducing imperial iconography with varying fidelity. |
