| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of the emperor facing right, rendered in a stylized late antique manner characteristic of Lombard tremisses. The effigy is set within a beaded inner circle and encircled by a Latin legend naming the moneyer Marinus Monertiarus. The engraving reflects the degenerate but vigorous die-cutting tradition of early medieval Italian gold coinage, with the facial features and drapery rendered in a schematic, abbreviated style. |
