| Obverse description | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in a flat, stylised barbaric manner characteristic of Gepid imitative coinage. The effigy is set within a beaded border and encircled by the imperial Latin legend. The workmanship reflects a provincial interpretation of late Roman imperial portraiture, with reduced anatomical detail typical of post-Roman Germanic mint output. |
