eAuction #31, Lot 94. Estimate: CHF 250.00

Leo I. (457-474 AD). AE2 (20-21 mm, 3.00 g), Constantinopolis? (Istanbul).
Obv. D N LEO PERPET AVG, diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right.
Rev. VIRTVS EXERCITI, Leo standing right, holding labarum and globe, spurning bound captive.
Ex. CONE.
RIC X, 652.

Rare. Nice for the type. Very fine.

This rare issue, one of the last Roman Imperial bronzes of considerable size and neat workmanship, is almost exclusively found on the Crimea and has consequently often been attributed to the Cherson mint. The mintmark CON makes it possible, however, that the issue was struck in Constantinopolis and then shipped to the Crimea.
