| Obverse description | Crude, lightly struck bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing left, depicted in pearl diadem, draped and cuirassed in the late Roman imperial tradition. The effigy is rendered in a barbarous, somewhat schematic style characteristic of Gepid imitative coinage. The bust is encircled by a Latin legend naming the emperor in debased lettering. The overall execution reflects the provincial workshop's adaptation of Byzantine prototypes. |
