| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted and diademed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing three-quarters right, clad in cuirass and imperial paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder. The emperor holds a spear upright over his right shoulder, with a shield decorated with a horseman motif visible at the lower left. The effigy exhibits the characteristic early Byzantine frontal stylization, with detailed rendering of the crested helmet adorned with pendilia. The Latin imperial legend encircles the bust, reading from left to right around the coin's periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anastasius I inherited a treasury drained by decades of military expenditure under Zeno, then systematically rebuilt imperial finances through a series of reforms — most critically the abolition of the chrysargyron, a despised tax on merchants and tradespeople collected every four years, in 498. The gold coinage struck in the first years of his reign predates that reform and belongs to the moment of transition, before his fiscal program had fully taken hold.
This is the opening entry in Bellinger, DOC, and MIB simultaneously — the type that anchors the entire Byzantine gold sequence by scholarly convention.
