| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in the characteristic late antique imperial style typical of early Byzantine coinage. The effigy displays the emperor in profile with a pearl diadem and imperial mantle. Due to the small module and heavily worn surfaces of this nummus, fine portrait details are largely obscured, though the rightward-facing bust remains discernible in the field. The obverse legend, where legible, reads D N ANASTASIVS PP AVG, identifying the emperor as Our Lord Anastasius, Perpetual Augustus. |
