Obverse description Right-facing bust of Emperor Anastasius I, pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed, rendered in the late antique imperial tradition. The effigy displays rounded shoulders with hanging tassels at the shoulder drapery, a characteristic feature of this Germanic imitative series. The bust is set within a beaded border and encircled by a Latin legend. The style reflects the provincial, barbarian-workshop execution typical of post-Roman Germanic tremissis imitations, with some simplification of facial and garment detail relative to official Byzantine prototypes.
