Leo I Æ Maiorina. Cherson (or Constantinople), AD 457-474. D N LEONIS P P A AVG, diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / VIRTVS EXERCITI, Leo standing to right, holding labarum and globe, spurning bound captive before; CONE in exergue. RIC 653; DOC 560; LRBC 2252; MIRB 23b. 4.99g, 22mm, 7h.
Good Very Fine. Extremely Rare; only 2 other examples on CoinArchives.
From the Cherson Collection of I.K.
This issue is, like others potentially struck locally at Cherson, traditionally catalogued as having been produced at Constantinople - in which case, specifically for use at Cherson. As with other such types, the crude fabric and style argue strongly in favour of reattribution to a local mint.
