| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in the late antique imperial tradition. The emperor's diadem is visible at the crown, and the paludamentum is fastened at the shoulder, partially obscuring the cuirass beneath. The portrait, though small and somewhat schematic due to the diminutive module, conveys the standard imperial effigy type common to Byzantine minor coinage of the sixth century. A peripheral legend surrounds the bust, though partially off-flan on this specimen due to the irregular flan. |
