| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in the formal late antique imperial style typical of early Byzantine coinage. The effigy displays a pearl diadem across the brow, a paludamentum draped over the armored cuirass, and subtly modeled facial features characteristic of the period. The bust is set within a beaded border, with the imperial legend disposed around the periphery in Latin capitals. The overall style reflects the transitional artistic conventions between late Roman and early Byzantine numismatic portraiture. |
