History of these coins:
During the later period of the Roman empire Christianity began to replace paganism.  This change was reflected in their coinage.  Gone were the images of emperors replaced instead with images of Jesus Christ and religious inscriptions called "Christo grams".  The reverse side of the coin offered here carries a typical Christo gram:
IC
XC
"Jesus Christ, King of Kings".  These coins represent significant change in the world's religious direction and have become highly collectible.
The coin offered is classed as an "B" and has the following characteristics:
Attributed to the reign of Romanus III (1028-1034)
Obv. Christ bust. IC-XC (
Jesus Christ
) on sides.  With
□
in each limb of nimbus cross and pellet in each quarter.  Gospels ornamented with ꞉∙꞉ design and
+ЄMAN NOVHΛ
on right and left.
Rv. Cross on three steps with pellet at each extremity.  Inscription in three lines: IC to left, XC to right in field above transverse limbs of cross and bAS - ILE  /  bAS - ILE below (
Jesus Christ, King of Kings
).
The date is assured by larger overstruck coins of Class A 1 and Class A 2 coins.  These overstruck coins are common.
