| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in the frontal-profile imperial style characteristic of early Byzantine coinage. The emperor's diadem, draped paludamentum, and cuirass are visible, conveying imperial authority. The circular legend runs along the outer field, partially obscured by the irregular flan and die wear typical of hammered Byzantine issues of this period. |
