| Obverse description | Helmeted, pearl-diademed, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Leo I facing three-quarters to the right, wearing an elaborately decorated muscled cuirass with pteryges visible at the shoulder. The emperor holds a spear upright over his right shoulder and bears a shield on his left arm, decorated with a horseman motif. The facial features are rendered in the formal late antique imperial style, with large eyes and a frontal gaze conveying regal authority. The surrounding field is bounded by a beaded border, and the Latin legend D N LEO PE-RPET AVG runs clockwise around the periphery. |
