| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in the late antique Imperial style characteristic of early Byzantine coinage. The effigy displays a pearl diadem and visible paludamentum (military cloak) at the shoulder, with the cuirass indicated beneath. The portrait occupies the central field, surrounded by a beaded or dotted border. The legend encircles the bust, reading D N IVSTINIANVS P P AVG. Strike quality is characteristic of hammered provincial coinage, with some irregularity in the flan. |
