Commentary
Poids très léger. Semble complètement inédit et non recensé sur un tout petit flan mince. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. Il ne s’agit pas d’un follis rogné.
Very light weight. Seems completely new and unrecorded on a very small, thin blank. Missing from all the works consulted. This is not a cropped follis

Historical background
ROMANUS I LACAPENUS
(17/12/920-16/12/944)
Roman I, a peasant of Armenian origin, was named Augustus in 920. His daughter Helena married Constantine VII. He reigned for 25 years, but was deposed by Stephen and Constantine, his children, in 944. Two months later, Constantine VII got rid of his two brothers-in-law and ruled alone for the first time since 908.
