Obverse description Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in the late antique imperial portrait tradition. The diadem is depicted with pendilia, and the cuirass is visible at the shoulder. The effigy occupies the central field, with the surrounding legend distributed around the periphery. The portrait, though struck on an irregular flan as typical of early Byzantine coinage, conveys imperial authority through its upright, frontal-tilting pose.
