| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Emperor Justin I facing right, wearing imperial paludamentum with visible folds across the chest. The bust is rendered in the late antique Byzantine style, with a beaded diadem visible on the head. A partially legible Latin legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, typically reading DN IVSTINVS P AVG, though the inscription is often incomplete or poorly struck due to the hammered technique. The overall fabric is irregular, characteristic of early Byzantine minor bronze coinage. |
