| Beschrijving keerzijde | Winged Victory personified stands facing left, her wings spread, clad in a long draped garment. She holds with her left hand a tall jewelled cross, its shaft extending to the ground, symbolising the Christian faith of the late Roman state. A star appears in the right field. The officina mark is incorporated at the end of the reverse legend, and the exergue bears the mint mark CONOB, denoting the Constantinople mint and the high-purity gold standard of the solidus. |

Leo I came to power in 457 as the first emperor elevated through the direct influence of the Alan generalissimo Aspar, a dependence he spent nearly two decades carefully dismantling. The years 462–466 fall squarely within that uneasy arrangement, during which Leo was quietly cultivating the Isaurian military faction that would eventually murder Aspar in 471. Coins struck under this political tightrope carry no trace of the tension — the mint at Constantinople operated with bureaucratic regularity throughout.
RIC X 605 is among the more frequently documented solidi of Leo's reign, though the series presents documented obverse die variations worth examining closely before attribution is finalized.
