| Beschrijving voorzijde | King Leo I (Levon I) enthroned facing, seated on a high-backed bench or throne, his body rendered frontally in a stylised Byzantine manner. The king is depicted wearing a crown and royal robes, holding regalia in each hand. An Armenian legend surrounds the central effigy within the field. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, characteristic of hammered copper coinage of the Cilician Armenian kingdom. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leo I was crowned King of Armenian Cilicia in January 1198 by a representative of Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI — a deliberate political alignment with Latin Christendom that shaped the iconography and monetary conventions of his entire reign. His copper issues circulated in a coastal kingdom that functioned as a critical buffer state and trading corridor between the Crusader ports and the Armenian interior. The seated-on-bench type belongs to this foundational coinage, issued across a reign of over two decades.
