| Obverse description | Diademed, helmeted, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, draped in imperial military attire with a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the stylized late antique manner characteristic of early Byzantine coinage, with bold facial features and detailed shoulder armor visible in the field. A partial Latin legend encircles the bust, reading D N IVSTINIANVS P P AVG, identifying the emperor as Dominus Noster Justinianus Perpetuus Augustus. The beaded border frames the composition around the coin's irregular flan. |
