| Obverse description | Frontal facing bust of the emperor Justinian II, crowned with a diadem and draped in imperial robes with visible collar ornamentation, rendered in the provincial Lombard style. The effigy displays a short beard and flowing hair falling to the shoulders, with a globus cruciger held in the left hand and a patriarchal cross to the left of the bust. The portrait is executed in a stylized, somewhat barbaric adaptation of Byzantine prototypes. A circular Latin legend surrounds the bust within a beaded border. |
