| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in the late antique imperial style characteristic of early Byzantine coinage. The emperor's effigy displays a pearl diadem and visible paludamentum fastened at the shoulder. The surrounding field carries the Latin imperial titulature legend, partially legible due to characteristic die wear and flan irregularity. The portrait is boldly struck in high relief relative to the coin's modest module, with the facial features showing the stylized treatment typical of Thessalonican workshop production under Justinian I. |
