Obverse description Five-arched arcade in relief, with the central arch being notably larger and enclosing a cross. A leopard passant guardant to the left is depicted beneath the arcade, its tail rendered in a distinctive S-shaped foliate form. The partial legend SIC LIO appears to the left of the central motif, and a geometric ornament is placed beneath the leopard in the lower field. As a bracteate, the design is struck in single-sided relief on a thin flan with characteristic irregular edges.
