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 was originally a Greek inscription reading ”Jesus Christ, King of Kings,“ although subsequent issues varied. They were struck by subsequent emperors until the end of the First Crusade.
