| Reverse description | The enthroned and nimbate figure of Emperor Leo I is depicted facing, seated frontally and clothed in consular robes, holding a mappa upward in his right hand and a cross potent in his left. A globe set upon a base is placed on each side of the throne, and a star occupies the left field, emphasizing the celestial and divine authority of the emperor. The reverse legend VICTORIA AVGGG proclaims the victory of the Augusti, while the mintmark THSOB in the exergue identifies the Thessalonica mint, officina B. The composition reflects the standardized, hieratic reverse type employed across Eastern Roman solidus issues of the mid-fifth century. |
