Byzantine Empire, Michael VII Ducas, 24 October 1071 - 24 March 1078 A.D.
|Michael| |VII|, |Byzantine| |Empire,| |Michael| |VII| |Ducas,| |24| |October| |1071| |-| |24| |March| |1078| |A.D.|, The references list many slight variations for this type (legend variations, different ornamentation on the nimbus, gospels and labarum, a pellet or no pellet on the labarum shaft, the number of pearls on the emperor's collar, etc.). Some of these details may have had meaning as secret control marks, but some were probably the unimportant whims of the die engraver.
