Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Heraclius, who was the Byzantine Emperor from 610 to 641. During his reign, he reformed the Byzantine coinage system, introducing a new standardized system of coins, including the tremissis, which was a gold coin equal to one-third of a solidus. This coin, bearing the name of Heraclius, is a rare example of this standardized issue and is a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
