| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial tradition. The emperor wears a pearl diadem and military paludamentum, with visible folds of drapery across the chest. The portrait is set within a circular flan with a peripheral Latin legend. The bust occupies the central field in a frontal three-quarter pose characteristic of early Byzantine imperial coinage. The style is bold but slightly crude, consistent with the small-module hammered issues of this reign. |
