Byzantine Anonymous Folles in the Bolu Museum

Abstract

This article concerns the Byzantine anony­mous folles today in the Bolu Museum and of the dist­ribution in Anatolia of those anonymous folles which date from the Middle Byzantine period. 394 Byzantine coins are in the Bolu museum collection. Of these co­ins, 11 are gold, 2 are silver, imitations of the solidus of emperor Anastasius 491–518 and of Constantinus VII 913–959 . 381 of the coins are bronze, one of which is a counterfeit. 184 of the bronze coins are ano­nymous folles and there is a catalogue of them. As is evi­dent, about 50% of all these coins in the museum collection are anonymous folles. The imperial bronze anonymous folles struck, differ from others in previous centuries in two main respects. Firstly there is a portrait of Christ on them, which had been preferred and emp­loyed earlier on gold coins. The other is that these coins were not struck on behalf of any emperors. In conclusion, the Byzantine anonymous folles in the Bolu Museum are compared with the folles in other mu­seums and those finds from excavations in Anatolia.
