| Aversbeschreibung | Left-facing bust of the usurper Procopius, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed, rendered in the late Roman Imperial style with fine detail to the paludamentum folds visible at the shoulder. The effigy is depicted in three-quarter view to the left, a relatively unusual orientation that distinguishes Procopius's coinage from that of his contemporaries. The pearl diadem is clearly articulated across the brow. The surrounding Latin legend is set within a beaded border and reads D N PROCOPIVS P F AVG. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Procopius seized power in Constantinople on September 28, 365, exploiting the absence of both Valentinian I and Valens — who were occupied on the Rhine and in Antioch respectively — to declare himself emperor. His revolt lasted just eight months before Valens crushed it in Phrygia in May 366, and Procopius was beheaded almost immediately after his capture. The Heraclea mint, close enough to Constantinople to fall under his control, struck for him throughout the usurpation.
Because the revolt was so brief and its suppression so total, Heraclean issues of Procopius are scarce in any condition. Valens subsequently ordered a damnatio memoriae, which likely accelerated the removal of these coins from circulation.
