| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in the late antique imperial style typical of sixth-century Byzantine coinage. The diadem is depicted with a row of pellets or beads across the brow, and the cuirass is visible at the shoulder. The effigy is set within a circular flan of irregular shape, with the imperial legend partially visible around the periphery. The portrait conveys imperial authority through its formal, frontal-facing convention adapted to a three-quarter profile. The overall style is characteristic of provincial hammered copper coinage from the Antioch mint. |
