| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in the late antique imperial style characteristic of early Byzantine coinage. The emperor wears a pearl diadem and military cuirass with paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder, conveying both regal and martial authority. The portrait is bold and stylized, with visible facial features including a bearded chin, set within a broad flan. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Latin majuscules, reading D N ANASTASIVS P P AVG, identifying the emperor as Our Lord Anastasius, Perpetual Augustus. |
