| Obverse lettering | D N HERACL - IVS PP AVG (Translation: Dominus Noster Heraclius Perpetuus Augustus Our Lord Heraclius, Perpetual Augustus) |
| Reverse description | A boldly rendered cross potent set upon a stepped base occupies the central field, closely following the reverse type of contemporary Byzantine tremisses struck under Heraclius. The cross is depicted in a schematic, linear style consistent with Lombard imitative coinage of the late 7th century. The surrounding circular legend reads VICTORIA AVCVSOR CONOB, a corrupted rendering of the Byzantine formula VICTORIA AVGVSTORUM CONOB, betraying the imitative and increasingly debased nature of the lettering. The exergue mark CONOB, referencing the Constantinople mint standard, is retained as a conventional inscription rather than a true mint attribution. The reverse is struck on a slightly uneven flan typical of hammered gold coinage of this period. |
