| Reverse description | Central field features two addorsed lions passant, face to face, with a large patriarchal or Latin cross prominently positioned between them above their bodies, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The lions are rendered in a bold, heraldic style typical of Cilician Armenian coinage of the period. An Armenian inscription runs around the outer border within a second beaded circle, referencing the mint city of Sis. The overall composition conveys royal and religious symbolism consistent with the numismatic tradition of Leo I's reign. |
