| Obverse description | Christ Pantokrator standing facing in full length, robed in nimbus and imperial vestments, raising his right hand in a gesture of benediction and holding the Gospels in his left hand. The figure is rendered in the hieratic Byzantine style characteristic of 11th-century coinage. Flanking the figure in the field are the Greek Christogram inscriptions IC - XC and the epithet ΕΜΜΑ ΟΥΗΛ (Emmanuel), identifying Christ by his messianic name. The coin is struck on an irregular flan with typical die misalignment common to hammered Byzantine folles of this period. |
