| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Leo I facing right, rendered in the late antique imperial style typical of barbarous tremisses. The effigy is encircled by a beaded border, with a degraded Latin legend arranged around the periphery of the flan. The portrait, while clearly derived from official Eastern Roman prototypes, displays the characteristic stylisation and simplification associated with Germanic imitative coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
After the deposition of Romulus Augustulus in 476, several Germanic successor powers continued striking gold tremisses in the names of legitimate Eastern emperors — Leo I among them — as a way of borrowing imperial monetary authority without possessing it. The practice was as much political as economic: coinage in a recognized emperor's name passed in trade where invented barbarian issues might not. Leo I had actually died in 474, making these posthumous strikes in his name a deliberate archaism.
Attribution remains genuinely contested. The cf. notation against RIC X 611 signals a die relationship without exact correspondence.
