| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Anastasius I facing right, rendered in the late antique imperial portrait style typical of early Byzantine coinage. The emperor's effigy displays a pearl diadem and paludamentum, with the folds of the cuirass visible at the shoulder. The bust is set within a circular field on a small-module flan, resulting in a compact and somewhat stylized portrait. The encircling legend in Latin reads D N ANASTASIVS P P AVG, identifying the emperor as perpetual Augustus and lord. |
