Leo I
« on: July 17, 2014, 10:07:16 pm »
Hi all,

I am curious about this one:



It is advertised exactly as an RIC 657 (including the exact wildwinds.com description), however the "E" missing on "P-PERPET" makes it look more like a 663, still with some differences.

Is it actually genuine? Any idea about the reference?

I'll surely appreciate any help from experts as I am rather a beginner... Thanks!

IMO It is genuin and very nice coin may be only a engraver error missing E from the legend

Any way congratulation ...

I read somewhere, can't remember where thou, that the better ones where actually minted in Constantinople. Most of them however are quite crude, struck on irregular flans, etc.
Yours looks like it's one of the better ones.

That's pretty nice for the type. I'm jealous.  +++
