Unusual loros on the Michael VII histamenon

[Byzantofil]

Look at an interesting version of Michael VII histamenon. In general, the coin is quite standard: the usual common type, base gold alloy.

But there is an interesting detail in the design of the loros. All Michael VI histamenons seen by me bear the image of loros, decorated with large rectangular stones. In my case, the die-cutter used a different punch for some reason, and the stones in the loros are round.

Have you ever met a similar loros type on Michael VII histamenon or is this one of a kind?

This type of loros is standard for Michael VII histamenons:

On the damaged appearance of the "non-standard" histamenon. The coin was once flattened out of an ordinary curved shape.

Below is another one macro photo of this non-standard loros :
