Uncertain Germanic Imitative AR Half-Siliqua in the name of Leo I. Constantinople, circa AD 474. D N LEO PEPET AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / SAL REI PVI in three lines within wreath; CONS* in exergue. RIC 650; RSC 12†a. 0.66g, 14mm, 6h.

Very Fine; old cabinet tone.

From the PT Collection of the Later Empire.

With their blundered legends, typically lower weight and different fabric, the series to which this example appears to belong 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.
