20 Nummi - Anastasius I Dicorus Constantinopolis, Small Module

Descrizione del dritto	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.

Descrizione del rovescio	Large Greek letter K (kappa), serving as the denomination mark for 20 nummi, dominates the central field. A cross potent is positioned to the left of the K, and a small six-pointed star or asterisk appears in the upper right field above the K. An officina letter appears in the lower right field, identifying the mint workshop. The design is stark and functional, typical of Anastasian small-module half-follis coinage, with minimal decorative elements and a plain field.
