<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1767269, member: 26302"]Yep, early anonymous follis. The obverse is of Jesus, the reverse states "Jesus Christ King of Kings". They were called anonymous since no mention of the Byzantine ruler is on them. One interesting point, the picture of Christ was from the emperor's favorite portrait of him from a famous church. Most of these portraits have been destroyed over time, making these coins the only physical proof left of what they looked like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
