| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Justinian I facing right, rendered in the late antique imperial style characteristic of Frankish imitative coinage. The effigy is encircled by a Latin legend occupying the full periphery of the flan. The portrait, while derived from Byzantine prototypes, displays the stylistic degradation typical of barbarian imitations, with facial features rendered in a more schematic manner than the official Constantinople issues. |
