| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Leo I facing right, adorned with a pearl diadem, a cross positioned above the head. The imperial legend encircles the effigy in Latin characters. The portrait is rendered in the late antique style characteristic of fifth-century Eastern Roman coinage, with stylized drapery folds and a formal, hieratic presentation. The overall fabric of the coin is small and irregularly shaped, consistent with the debased nummus denomination of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lion standing left with head turned to face right, a cross positioned above the animal in the field. The mint mark appears in the exergue, identifying the Constantinopolis mint. The reverse type—a lion as a visual pun on the emperor's name Leo—is a distinctive feature of this nummus issue and reflects the playful heraldic conventions sometimes employed in late Roman coinage. The design, though diminutive, is carefully composed within the small flan. The overall execution is characteristic of the hammered miniature bronzes produced at Constantinople during the reign of Leo I. |
