Photo of a coin sold the 07/09/2016 by Classical Numismatic Group, Electronic Auction 382, lot 462, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3347777, link to their website: https://www.cngcoins.com/. The legend is illegible.. INA? I notice the addition of the letter T in the monogramm of Leo I, which seems surrounded by a crown.

Another coin mentioned in the treasure of Qau-el-Kebir. Attributed by Walker to Leontius for the mint of Alexandria. The argument being the addition of the letter T to the monogram of Leo I. The obverse legend of the coin analyzed by Walker is illegible. The two coins, the one illustrated here and the one analyzed by Walker are to be confirmed for Leontius.

Here are the two monogramms:

             Leo I                             Leontius
