| Obverse description | Facing bust of Emperor Phocas, crowned and draped, with a full beard, rendered in the Byzantine frontal portrait style. The emperor holds a cross-tipped sceptre or globus cruciger before him. The effigy is enclosed by a circular Latin legend reading O N FOLS PRP AVC, an abbreviated form of Dominus Noster Phocas Perpetuus Augustus. The style is characteristic of Lombard imitative coinage, with somewhat cruder execution than the Byzantine prototypes. The field is plain gold. |
