| Obverse description | King Leo I enthroned facing, crowned and robed, seated on a lion-headed throne, holding a fleur-de-lis sceptre in his right hand and an orb or lily in his left. The throne is flanked by lion heads on the armrests, rendered in a stylised Byzantine-influenced manner. A beaded inner circle separates the central effigy from the surrounding Armenian legend in the outer field. |
