Leo III the "Isaurian", with Constantine V. 717-741. Æ Decanummium (17mm, 1.63 g, 12h). Constantinople mint. Crowned facing busts of Leo and Constantine, each wearing chlamys and holding akakia / Large I; cross above; [...] - N/N/N across field. Cf. DOC 38-41 (for similar type as folles and half folles); cf. SB 1521-2 (for denomination). Brown patina, roughness, some cleaning scratches. Good Fine. Extremely rare and unpublished.

A new type of decanummi for Leo III and Constantine V. While decanummi are known for these rulers (SB 1521-2), this new type follows the designs of the folles and half folles of DOC 38-41 rather than the distinctly different types found as DOC 27 and 35.
