| Obverse description | Frontal helmeted and cuirassed bust of the Byzantine emperor Justin I, pearl-diademed, depicted in three-quarter view with a spear carried over the right shoulder. The effigy is rendered in late antique style with fine engraving detail on the cuirass and helmet. The bust is surrounded by a beaded border and a continuous Latin legend. The entire composition follows the established Byzantine imperial portrait convention adopted by the Ostrogothic rulers for their gold coinage struck in the emperor's name. |
