| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing winged figure of Victory, facing left, attired in a flowing chiton and himation, positioned at the center of the field. She holds a tall jewelled cross-on-steps (crux hasta) in her right hand and a globus cruciger in her left, with a large feathered wing visible behind her. Star motifs appear in the left and right fields flanking the central figure, emphasizing the celestial and triumphal character of the type. The mint signature THSOB appears in the exergue, identifying the Thessalonica mint and the OB standard for gold of the highest fineness. The Latin legend VICTORI-A AVGGG runs along the upper periphery within a beaded border. |

Leo I's solidi from Thessalonica are considerably scarcer than those of Constantinople, reflecting the secondary status of that mint during his reign. The VICTORIA AVGGG legend — plural, referencing three Augusti — dates this piece to the period of joint rule with the western emperor Libius Severus, a puppet installed by the generalissimo Ricimer in 461 and largely ignored by Leo, who never formally recognized him. The political fiction of collegiate rule was maintained on the coinage even as the eastern court treated the western throne as effectively vacant.
