| Obverse description | Frontal bust of Emperor Phocas, bearded and wearing an imperial crown adorned with pendilia, depicted in a stiff hieratic style characteristic of early seventh-century Byzantine coinage. The emperor is draped in an imperial chlamys and holds a mappa in his right hand and a globus cruciger in his left. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, divided on either side of the bust. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat flat, typical of hammered Byzantine folles of this period. |
