| Obverse description | Facing left bust of Emperor Leo I, bearded and pearl-diademed, depicted in consular robes with elaborate drapery. The emperor holds a mappa in his raised right hand and a cruciform sceptre resting over his left shoulder in his left hand, conveying imperial and consular authority. The legend encircles the bust, rendered in Latin capitals. The portrait reflects the formal, hieratic style characteristic of mid-fifth-century Eastern Roman coinage, with careful attention to regalia detail. |
