Summary/Abstract: Emperor Konstantinos X Doukas was depicted with his wife, empress Evdokia Makrembolitissa on his copper coins which were struck on between 1059 to 1076 and classified in Folles, Class 1. This group of copper coins are rare examples of Byzantine coinage with the depiction of empress. Furthermore, Folles, Class 1 are interesting and special examples with a depiction of empress on left hand side from the spectator’s point of view which was very unusual hierarchical order in Byzantine coin iconography. In this paper, coins selected from Kuva-yi Milliye Museum and Manisa Museum and these unusual copper coins will be introduced.
