| Reverse description | Two emperors — Leo II at left and Zeno at right — seated side by side on a wide double throne and facing directly forward; both are nimbate, diademed, and clad in imperial consular robes, each holding a mappa in his right hand. A prominent cross surmounted by a star occupies the upper field between the two figures. The divided legend is distributed across the upper and lateral fields, and the mint control mark CONOB, denoting the Constantinople mint with high-purity gold, appears in the exergue along with the officina letter. |
