| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial tradition characteristic of early Byzantine coinage. The diadem, indicating imperial rank, is visible above the brow, with strands of hair rendered in fine parallel lines. The paludamentum (military cloak) is fastened at the right shoulder, and the cuirass beneath denotes the emperor's role as commander. The surrounding Latin legend D N ANASTASIVS PP AVG runs along the periphery, partially visible on this hammered flan. The portrait style reflects the transitional aesthetic of the early Byzantine period, retaining classical Roman conventions. |
