| Obverse description | Central field depicts a crowned, enthroned figure of King Leo I facing forward, shown in regal attire with arms extended, holding symbols of royal authority. The king is flanked by decorative foliate or heraldic elements on either side. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, with an Armenian legend encircling the outer border reading ԼԵՒՈՆ ԹागԱՒОР НԱՅОՑ (Leon, King of the Armenians). The design is rendered in the bold, slightly stylized relief characteristic of medieval Armenian hammered coinage. |
