| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing pearl-diademed bust of Emperor Leo I, rendered in the frontal three-quarter style characteristic of late antique coinage, with the effigy draped and cuirassed. The pearl diadem is surmounted by a prominent jewelled element, with pendilia visible at the ear. The emperor's neck and shoulders display elaborate military dress with beaded pauldron detail, conveying imperial and martial authority. The encircling Latin legend reads D N LEO PE-RPET AVG, distributed across the field around the portrait. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leo I came to power in 457 largely through the influence of the Alan general Aspar, who effectively controlled the eastern court for the better part of two decades. These tremisses were struck during the precise window when Leo was beginning to maneuver against that dominance — a process that culminated in Aspar's murder in 471. The mint at Constantinople maintained tight control over fractional gold output during this period, with the tremissis serving real commercial functions in trade across the Aegean and into the Levant.
RIC X 611 is among the more localized attributions in the Leo I gold series, assigned specifically to the Constantinople mint on the basis of die style and control mark analysis by Kent.
