VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 08/04/2012 7:13 pm These little 5th century AE4's are some of my favorites to collect (I am focusing on harder-to-find but still within-my-budget emperors like Leo I, Marcian, etc). Not exactly the prettiest coin ever but it is of a scarcer reverse and I got it for super cheap. It is in slightly better shape than most bronzes of this period you will find. This coin has the Verina standing reverse. Leo I Obv: DN LEO, diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right Rev: No text, Verina standing facing, holding a globe with cross and scepter, b in left field, E in right field, Constantinople, RIC 713, 11 mm Plenty of info on Verina here, and info on Leo, Verina, and Zeno, and on their coins here.
