| Beschrijving voorzijde | Two standing imperial figures facing, separated by a cross in the upper field. At left, Emperor Heraclius is depicted full-length in military dress, wearing a crown surmounted by a cross, with mustache and long beard, holding a long cross in his right hand and resting his left hand on his hip. At right, his co-emperor Heraclius Constantine stands in chlamys with a crown surmounted by a cross, wearing a short beard, and holds a globus cruciger in his right hand. The pairing of the two emperors reflects the dynastic co-regency coinage tradition characteristic of the middle Byzantine period. |

By the time this issue entered circulation, Heraclius had just concluded the most grueling war in Byzantine history — a nearly three-decade conflict against Sassanid Persia that ended in 628 with the recovery of the True Cross. The Constantinople mint was simultaneously managing a currency in structural crisis: decades of military expenditure had degraded bronze coinage so severely that follis weights had collapsed from Justinianic norms, and this series reflects that debasement directly.
The DOC range 105–115 encompasses meaningful die variation across the decade, including regnal year markings that allow closer dating within the 629–639 window.
