eAuction #5, Lot 133. Estimate: CHF 150.00
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. SALVS R PVBLICA, Leo standing right, holding labarum and globe, spurning bound captive.
RIC X, 657.
Rare. Rough as usual, otherwise, 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.
