<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 3038198, member: 74799&quot;]Outstanding&nbsp; write up with an equally outstanding coin!&nbsp; There seems to be a lot of auctions that are posting that Leo V follis as Leo III <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; The Leo V follis is a bit scarce and comes up only once in a while.&nbsp; Labarum is pretty reliable and if there are mistakes, its rectified quickly.&nbsp; Unfortunately, there are still some gaps that needs to be filled and it gets annoying at times, especially when images are around.&nbsp; Here are my Leo III coins:</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Byzantine Empire: Leo III the Isaurian (717-741) Æ Follis, Constantinople (Sear 1516; DOC 39) </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: <i>LЄ-ON S CON</i>; Two busts facing, Leo on left, bearded, and Constantine, usually slightly smaller, on right. Each wears chlamys with conspicuous tablion and crown with cross, and holds akaka in right</p><p>Rev: Large M; X/X/X - N/N/N across field, cross above, B below</p><p>Dim: 25 mm, 3.37 g</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-1516.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b> Byzantine Empire: Leo III the Isaurian (717-741) Æ Follis, Syracuse (Sear 1531; DOC 55; Anastasi 414) </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: Λ/Є/O/N to left, Δ/Є/C/Π to right; Leo standing facing, wearing crown and chlamys, and holding akakia</p><p>Rev: K/Ш/N/C to left, Δ/Є/C/Π to right; Constantine standing facing, wearing crown and chlamys, and holding akakia</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Sear-1531.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
