| Obverse description | Facing bust of Emperor Justinian I, helmeted and cuirassed, with a diadem adorned with pendilia visible at the temples. The emperor holds a globus cruciger in his right hand and a shield decorated with a horseman motif is visible at his left shoulder. The facial features are rendered in the characteristic frontal Byzantine style with large, stylized eyes. The surrounding Latin legend reads D N IVSTINI-ANVS P P AVG, distributed across the upper field. |

| Reverse description | Standing figure of Victory facing, winged and robed, holding a long staff surmounted by a Christogram (staurogram) in her left hand and a globus cruciger in her right hand. The figure stands on a low base or line, with wings spread symmetrically. A six-pointed star appears in the right field. The legend VICTORI-A AVGGG is divided across the upper field to left and right, with the officina letter Z to the lower right field, and the mint mark CONOB appears in the exergue, attesting to the coin's full-weight gold standard struck at Constantinople. |
