| Obverse description | Facing enthroned busts of Emperor Justin II (left) and Empress Aelia Sophia (right), both crowned and depicted in imperial robes; Justin II holds a scepter in his right hand and a globus cruciger in his left, while Sophia similarly holds imperial regalia. The imperial couple is shown frontally in the rigid hieratic style characteristic of sixth-century Byzantine coinage. A blundered or partially legible Latin legend runs in the field, identifying the rulers as Augusti. The overall design reflects the ceremonial majesty and theological authority associated with the joint reign. |
