| Obverse description | Facing helmeted and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I in three-quarter view, depicted in full imperial military regalia. The emperor holds a globus cruciger in his right hand and supports a shield with his left arm, symbolizing both religious and martial authority. A cross appears in the right field. The surrounding legend, rendered in Latin capitals, identifies the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The overall style is characteristic of mid-sixth-century Byzantine die engraving, with a frontal, hieratic treatment of the imperial effigy. |
