| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two imperial effigies facing, Heraclius bearded at left and his son Heraclius Constantine at right, both crowned with crossed diadems and clad in chlamys, each holding a globus cruciger in the outer hand; a cross occasionally appears between the two figures in the upper field. The composition reflects the co-emperorship proclaimed in 613 and follows the established Byzantine frontal portrait convention. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heraclius seized power in 610 by sailing from Carthage to Constantinople with a fleet reportedly decorated with icons, deposing the murderous usurper Phocas almost immediately upon arrival. His thirty-year reign became one of the most militarily extreme in Byzantine history — near-total collapse against the Sassanid Persians in the 610s and 620s, followed by a stunning reversal that recovered Jerusalem and the True Cross, only for the Arab conquests to strip those gains within a decade of his death.
The Constantinople mint during his reign underwent significant administrative reorganization, and dating by regnal year was introduced on folles and their fractions — a practice that makes precise attribution of this fractional issue possible within broad ranges rather than single years.
