Byzantine Empire — Bronze Follis with Christ, Class A3 (c. 1028–1041 AD) The obverse features a radiateThis large bronze follis belongs to the famous Anonymous issues of the Byzantine Empire, struck during the Middle Byzantine period when the emperor chose not to place his own portrait on the coinage.

The reverse carries the bold inscription in Greek: + IhSUS XRISTUS bASILEU bASILE
