Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Heraclius, who ruled the Byzantine Empire from 610 to 641 AD. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that featured a new, more realistic portrait of the emperor, which was a departure from the traditional stylized depictions of previous emperors. This coin also features stars on the reverse side, which was a common motif in Byzantine coinage and symbolized the celestial power of the emperor.
