Byzantine Empire, Michael VII Ducas, 24 October 1071 - 24 March 1078 A.D.
|Michael| |II|, |Byzantine| |Empire,| |Michael| |VII| |Ducas,| |24| |October| |1071| |-| |24| |March| |1078| |A.D.|, Cup-shaped coins were more difficult to mint than flat coins. Some scholars have theorized the cup shape was intended to distinguish debased denominations from purer types. Most likely, however, the public would have no trouble distinguishing the lower gold content. Perhaps the shape was just a style.
