Leo I AR 1/2 Siliqua. Contemporary imitation of Constantinople mint, circa AD 474. D N LEO PERPET AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / SAL REI PYI within wreath; CON[S*] in exergue. RIC 650. 0.72g, 14mm, 11h.

Very Fine. Toned.

With their blundered legends, lower weight and atypical fabric, the series to which this example belongs must be viewed, as Kent tentatively suggests in RIC, as imitative and separate to the official siliquae of this type that were struck throughout Leo's reign.
