| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Anastasius I facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial tradition. The emperor wears a pearl diadem, with drapery visible over the left shoulder and segmented cuirass over the chest. The effigy occupies the central field, surrounded by the imperial titulature legend. The portrait exhibits the characteristic flat, stylized treatment typical of early Byzantine coinage transitioning from late Roman prototypes. |
