| Obverse description | Two facing crowned busts side by side: Emperor Leo III on the left and his co-emperor Constantine V on the right, both wearing imperial loros or chlamys and crowns surmounted by a cross. The effigies are rendered in the frontal hieratic style characteristic of middle Byzantine coinage, with schematic facial features and stylized drapery. The abbreviated legend is distributed across the field flanking the imperial portraits. The flan is irregular and the overall execution is typical of the hammered copper coinage of the Isaurian dynasty. |
