This coin is part of a grouping of coins called "Anonymous Folles". These coins are so-called because they do not bear the name or mark of any particular ruler, but include purely religious images and inscriptions.
According to numismatic data and other resources from that period, anonymous folles were first struck during the period of John I. In the time between the accession to the throne of John I in 969 and the great monetary reform of Alexius I in 1092, the copper coinage of the Byzantine Empire is distinguishable from that of earlier centuries in two respects. First, there is a portrait of christ on copper coins, although it was an application preferred only on golden coins until that time. Second, they were not struck in the name of any emperor.

Awesome store and staff! I have been buying jewelry from them since 1975. They have a fabulous selection and really great prices. Their sealife selection is the best around. I love to peek into their Estate cases when I visit. I always find a treasure to bring home.

The Cedar Chest carries very beautiful, unique jewelry of the highest quality. I have made many purchases over the years, both in the store and online, and I've always been more than happy with the pieces I've chosen. My most recent purchase was online. I trust them completely. I ordered a medium size rose-gold periwinkle earring and pendant set with a diamond in the centers. They are so beautiful. I want to wear them always! Shelley handled my order with care. She was wonderful. Thanks again, Shelley!
