Byzantine Bronze Folles with Christ and Mary, 1065-1071 AD(MG)

This bronze coin, class AE2, is an example of the anonymous Byzantine folles featuring the image of Jesus Christ, facing forward—a different style than Roman coins, which had portraits left- or right-facing. The reverse features a portrait of his mother, Mary, replacing a standardized religious inscription.
