Commentary
Poids extrêmement léger. Follis anonyme. Cet exemplaire semble surfrappé sans que l’on puisse déterminer le prototype. Par son mdule et son poids, ce type fait penser à un demi follis.
Extremely light weight. Follis anonymous. This example appears to be overstruck without it being possible to determine the prototype. By his size and his weight, this guy is reminiscent of half a follis

Historical background
CONSTANTINE X DUCAS
(25/12/1059-21/05/1067)
Constantine X succeeded Isaac I Comnenus who had been deposed. Constantine's wife, Eudocia, is the niece of the Patriarch of Constantinople. Constantin must face a triple danger: the Normans in Sicily, the Uzes (Turkish tribe) in the Balkans and the Seljuks in Asia Minor. On his death, his wife succeeded him, ensuring the regency for his sons Michael VII and Constantine. The Empire faces a grave crisis.
