| Obverse description | Draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, wearing a pearl diadem. The imperial effigy is rendered in the late antique style typical of early Byzantine coinage, with stylized features and a rigid, frontal quality. The legend encircles the bust in the outer field, reading D N ANASTASIVS P P AVG in Latin characters. The flan is irregular and the relief is moderately struck, characteristic of hammered Byzantine copper coinage of this period. |
