Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis coin featuring Michael VII Doukas is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Byzantine Empire. Michael VII Doukas was the son of the previous emperor, Constantine X Doukas, and he ascended to the throne at the age of 11 after his father's death. However, his reign was marked by power struggles and political instability, with several factions vying for control of the empire. Despite this, the coinage issued during his reign, including the Follis, remained consistent in its design and quality, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Byzantine Empire's monetary system.
