Is the obverse legend with PP or PF? The doubt remains. On the reverse, the CONOB mark is missing.

These coins are attributed to an undetermined western mint. Given the number of errors and corrections (see AYC #10 and 10 var) I imagine that it is a Romanized ''barbarian'' people who copied or were commissioned to copy the official coinage in order to extend circulation in the west .

On the obverse I noted ''Bust of Leo I'' because it is obvious that it is not a portrait of Leo II who is a child.

On the reverse I noted ''Angel'' in the description. We can also say that this is Victoria but the image of the victory at that time had indeed become that of an angel symbolizing the Christian victory.
