| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in the late antique Byzantine style with characteristic schematic facial features. The emperor wears a pearl diadem and military cuirass with paludamentum draped over the left shoulder. The obverse legend runs clockwise around the bust, partially visible in the field. The portrait reflects the transitional artistic style of early Byzantine coinage, retaining Roman imperial conventions while showing early medieval stylization. |
