| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in the late antique imperial tradition. The emperor wears a pearl diadem and a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, with the cuirass visible beneath. The imperial effigy is set within a beaded border, with the circumferential legend partially visible around the bust in the field. The engraving, characteristic of early Byzantine hammered coinage, exhibits a stylized yet authoritative portrait with careful attention to the drapery folds and military attire. |
