[Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Building Trust in Transactions (tm)] [Image] Description: We are very pleased to offer this authentic 900+ year old Byzantine Follis [Image] for your consideration. This historic coin is one of a series of rare "Jesus Christ" coins which were minted during the reign of Romanus III ( 1028 - 1034 AD ). It features a portrait of Christ holding the book of Gospels on the obverse and an inscription which reads, "Jesus Christ, King of Kings" on the reverse. Of particular importance is the fact that this coinage was issued "anonymously" without the usual imperial portraiture so as not to associate any human form with that of the divine Christ. The example you see here is among the few in the entire history of coinage which, not only feature an image of Christ, but also bear this inscription. It is important to note, during this time, that Christian iconographers were obligated to follow strict guide lines in their portraits of Christ. The model they followed was called "the image not made with hands," which was directly attributed to the likeness of Christ found on the Shroud of Turin. Centuries ago, when this coinage was fresh from the mint, the portrait of Christ was seen in high relief with excellent details. Unfortunately, with tremendous circulation over the span hundreds of years, the highest points naturally suffered the greatest wear. Choice uncirculated examples of these coins demand enormous prices, but circulated examples, like the one we offer here, are still within the reach of most collectors. The desirable coin you see here was recently discovered in the Holy Land with a small hoard of coins buried many centuries ago. Byzantine coins with the portrait of Christ are increasing in popularity, both with collectors as well as jewelers, due to their unique design and Christian imagery. You will not be disappointed with this desirable treasure. [Image] [Image] Obverse: Bust of Christ facing, wearing nimbus cruciger, pallium, and colobium, and holding the book of Gospels.
