| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing right, a diademed and draped bust of pseudo-imperial type imitating Heraclius, rendered in a relatively realistic but somewhat provincial style with a large head occupying much of the flan. The effigy displays a beaded diadem, a draped shoulder, and a stylised facial treatment characteristic of early medieval Lombard or Tuscan tremissis coinage. A cross appears before the face. The surrounding legend reads D N HCRACL - I PERP AVS in Latin characters, identifying the ruler as Our Lord Heraclius, Perpetual Augustus. The overall design reflects late antique Byzantine prototypes adapted by a local Italian workshop. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Byzantine tremisses circulated so widely across post-Roman Italy that Lombard and other regional authorities found it more practical to imitate them than to establish wholly independent monetary traditions. The duchy's issues in Heraclius's name belong to this habit of pseudonymous striking — coins produced under Lombard-controlled Tuscany that invoke imperial legitimacy without any genuine connection to Constantinople.
Heraclius himself was occupied with the catastrophic Persian wars and later the Arab conquests throughout this period, leaving peripheral territories to manage their own bullion needs under whatever political fiction proved convenient.
