| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, the diadem adorned with a cross above its front. The imperial effigy is rendered in the late antique style typical of early Byzantine coinage, with visible paludamentum at the shoulder. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust in the field. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat flat, consistent with hammered production of this period. |
