  • Obverse (left side): Features the busts of two figures, likely Emperor Heraclius and his son, Heraclius Constantine, depicted wearing ceremonial robes and crowns. The emperor has a longer beard, while the younger figure has shorter hair. Greek inscriptions surround the figures, identifying them as rulers.

The coin is set against a black background, with a scale in centimeters visible on the far right for size reference.
