| Obverse description | Draped bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, depicted with a diadem and wearing imperial paludamentum. The portrait is rendered in the late antique style typical of early Byzantine coinage, with a stylized profile and modest relief characteristic of small hammered copper issues. The obverse legend encircles the bust, reading D N ANASTASIVS P P AVG, identifying the emperor as 'Our Lord Anastasius, Perpetual Augustus.' The flan is irregular in shape, as is common for pentanummia of this period struck at eastern mints. |
