Byzantine coin of Heraclius, 610-641. Obverse: two figures standing and facing front; to left, Heraclius; to right, Heraclius Constantine, his son; both hold a globus cruciger in their right hand and both wear crown with cross; between their heads, there is another cross; to left and right, inscriptions are illegible. Reverse: large ‘M’; to left, ‘ANNO’ in a vertical position; to right, ‘Ϛ’ or ‘ϚI’; above, ‘P’ within a cross; beneath, ‘A’; in exergue, ‘[SELI]SϤ’; beneath exergue, there is a sideways ‘ANN’ which belonged to a previous coin. This coin has been overstruck, causing confusion on both sides.
