| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing bust of Emperor Phocas, depicted in military attire with a crown surmounted by a pendilia, holding a globus cruciger in his right hand. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the characteristic late Byzantine flat, frontal style, with wide staring eyes and stylized drapery folds. A partial Latin legend surrounds the bust reading DN FOCA NE PE AV, an abbreviation of Dominus Noster Focas Perpetuus Augustus. The flan is irregular, as is typical of hammered issues from the Antioch mint of this period. The fields show considerable wear and surface patination consistent with circulation use. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Phocas came to power in 602 by leading a mutiny of Danubian troops against Maurice, whose reign he ended with the execution of the emperor and his six sons. His eight-year rule was defined by continuous military crisis — Sassanid Persia under Khosrow II launched a war of revenge for Maurice's death that would not end until Heraclius finally concluded it in 628. These Antioch bronzes of 608–610 were struck in the final months before Heraclius's revolt succeeded, making them among the last coins produced under Phocas at a mint the Persians would seize within years.
