| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in the late antique Imperial tradition. The emperor wears a pearl diadem and a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, with visible folds of drapery across the chest. The surrounding Latin legend reads D N ANASTASIVS PP AVG, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait is executed in a stylized, somewhat schematic manner characteristic of early Byzantine copper coinage. The die is slightly misaligned relative to the irregular flan, a common feature of hammered small-denomination issues of this period. |
