| Obverse description | Facing bust of Emperor Maurice Tiberius, helmeted and cuirassed, depicted in the frontal military style characteristic of late Byzantine coinage. The emperor holds a globus cruciger in his right hand, symbolizing Christian imperial authority, while his left arm supports a decorated shield. The legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. The overall style reflects the debased but authoritative portraiture of the Constantinopolitan mint workshops of the late sixth century. |
