| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of Emperor Phocas, depicted wearing a crown adorned with pendilia and a consular loros, with a short bearded face rendered in the frontal Byzantine style typical of early 7th-century copper coinage. The emperor holds a cross on globe in his right hand, symbolizing imperial Christian authority. The Latin legend DN FOCA PERP AVG runs around the periphery of the flan, partially visible on this irregularly struck specimen. The portrait is bold and stylized, characteristic of the Thessalonica mint's die-cutting under Phocas, with a dotted border surrounding the central effigy. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the large value mark XX — two bold Roman numeral X characters occupying the upper field — denoting 20 nummi, separated from the exergue by a horizontal bar. Below the bar, the mint abbreviation TES (or tessera as visible on the image as GS/TES) identifies the Thessalonica mint. A small cross or mark appears above the XX in the upper field. The design is stark and utilitarian, consistent with Byzantine half-follis reverses of the Phocas period, with a plain, slightly concave field and irregular flan edges typical of hammered production. |
