| Obverse description | Frontal helmeted and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I, depicted in full imperial military regalia. The emperor holds a globus cruciger in his right hand and a decorated shield in his left, with a cross displayed in the right field. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic flat, hieratic style of mid-Byzantine coinage, with the face presented in strict frontal view. The surrounding legend identifies the emperor in Latin. The overall design reflects the imperial authority and Christian symbolism central to Justinianic numismatic art. |
