| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial tradition. The effigy is encircled by a Latin legend naming the emperor in the dative, executed in somewhat crude barbaric style characteristic of Gepid coinage. The portrait retains the essential iconographic conventions of contemporary Byzantine imperial coinage, though with noticeably less refined execution in the die engraving. |
