TYPE Byzantine Empire, Constantine X Doukas (1059-1067 AD), gold histamenon nomisma, 4.28g DESCRIPTION . Obv: Christ enthroned facing, wearing numbus and holding Book of Gospels, corrupt circular Latin legend IIS HIS REX REGNANTIUM ("Jesus Christ King of Kings") Rev: Constantine facing in crown and loros, holding labarum and gl. cr., Greek legend KON VAS O DOUKAS ("Emperor Constantine Doukas") REFERENCE: SB 1847 GRADING: AEF / VF, minor dent ORDER INFO: B2217, $250 Nice example (with attractive, single struck obverse) of a relatively common gold type, which also has the important distinction as the last mass-produced issue with a Latin legend, in this case the familiar "Jesus Christ King of Kings". The centuries long slide of "original Roman" Latin in favor of native Greek is evident here in the neat, but corrupt form of this text on the obverse.
