Crazy Hair ChristMichael VII 'signed' follis (SB 1878) struck over an Anonymous Class G follis
7.5gm 25mm
This coin was struck such that the folds of Mary's garment around her left elbow are on top of Christ's head AND are just about the only clear design element from the understrike remaining on that side!
Christ's new hairstyle looks fantastic!

Emperor PiggySB 63 (Justin I) or 158 (Justinian I) struck over an uncertain "M" coin
15.2gm 30mm
What I think is part of the "M" from the understrike can clearly be seen in front of the emperor's face where the field in front of his nose normally is. In this case, the shape produced looks just like a pig's snout to me!
