This coin is. . .
This coin is part of a grouping called “Anonymous Folles,” a type of coin so named for their lack of specific ruler markings. The Anonymous Folles were struck between the beginning of John I Tzimiskes’s reign in 969 and the monetary reform of Alexios I Komnenos in 1092. Before this period, portraits of Christ were typically reserved for gold coins rather than copper.
Circa 976-1025 CE
