| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in the late antique portrait style characteristic of early Byzantine coinage. The emperor wears a pearl diadem and a military cuirass with visible pauldron, conveying imperial authority. The portrait is relatively stylized, with a pronounced profile and minimal facial detail, consistent with hammered bronze coinage of the Roman mint during the sixth century. The encircling legend reads D N IVSTINIANVS P P AVG, disposed around the bust in Latin characters. |
