| Beschrijving keerzijde | The nimbate emperor stands facing in a frontal composition, his head turned to the left in a three-quarter profile. He raises his right hand in a gesture of benediction or address, while his left hand holds a globus cruciger, symbolizing universal dominion. A star appears in the right field, and the mint mark COB is placed in the exergue, indicating the Constantinople mint. The reverse legend GLORIA ROMANORVM encircles the figure, proclaiming the glory of the Roman state in the tradition of late antique imperial iconography. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Justinian's silver miliarense issues are comparatively scarce against his prolific gold and bronze output — the tremissis and solidus dominated long-distance trade, while the follis handled daily exchange, leaving the miliarense occupying an awkward middle denomination that saw limited practical circulation. Many surviving examples show surprisingly little wear as a result.
The bust-left orientation on this type follows a convention reserved for specific ceremonial or hierarchical distinctions within Byzantine numismatic protocol, though its precise administrative significance remains debated among specialists. DOC I places it firmly within the early-to-middle portion of Justinian's reign, before the monetary disruptions accompanying the plague of 541–549.
