Obverse lettering D N LEO PERPET AVG
(Translation: Our Lord Leo, Perpetual August)
Reverse description Winged Victory personified stands facing left, her wings spread, clad in a long draped garment. She holds with her left hand a tall jewelled cross, its shaft extending to the ground, symbolising the Christian faith of the late Roman state. A star appears in the right field. The officina mark is incorporated at the end of the reverse legend, and the exergue bears the mint mark CONOB, denoting the Constantinople mint and the high-purity gold standard of the solidus.
