| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I Dicorus facing right, depicted in the late antique imperial manner with careful linear detailing on the cuirass and drapery. The pearl diadem, hallmark of Byzantine imperial dignity, is rendered with characteristic precision, distinguishing the portrait as that of a reigning Augustus. The encircling legend frames the effigy in the conventional arrangement of early Byzantine gold coinage, with the inscription distributed across the upper and lower periphery of the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anastasius I inherited a treasury nearly emptied by his predecessor Zeno and responded with one of the more consequential fiscal overhauls of late antiquity — abolishing the deeply resented chrysargyron tax in 498 and stabilizing bronze coinage through a wholesale reform that gave the Byzantine monetary system the denominational structure it would carry for generations. The tremissis, worth one-third of a solidus, was the workhorse of smaller gold transactions throughout this period.
Constantinople's mint under Anastasius was tightly controlled, and the .990 fineness held with unusual consistency across his reign — a deliberate policy signal as much as a metallurgical standard.
