| Obverse description | Right-facing diademed bust of Emperor Anastasius I, draped and cuirassed, rendered in the late antique Imperial portrait style characteristic of early Byzantine coinage. The emperor's effigy is depicted with a pearl diadem and military paludamentum over scale armor, conveying both imperial and martial authority. The circumferential Latin legend runs around the bust within a beaded border. The portrait displays the stylized, frontal-tending treatment typical of the transitional period between late Roman and early Byzantine numismatic art. |
