Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Follis coin is that it features an image of Nicephorus I Stauracius, who was the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire from 803 to 811 AD. The coin was minted during his reign and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Byzantine states. Despite being made of bronze, the coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
