| Obverse description | Draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Phocas facing right, wearing a jewelled crown with pendilia. The emperor is depicted in imperial military dress with a stylized, somewhat barbaric rendering characteristic of Merovingian imitative coinage. The facial features are rendered in a schematic manner, retaining the general iconographic conventions of Byzantine prototypes. The surrounding Latin legend reads D N FOCAS PERP AVG, identifying the emperor by name and titulature. |
