     This coin was minted at Carthage between 618 and 619 AD, during
     the joint reign of Heraclius and his son, Heraclius Constantine.
     The obverse type features the facing busts of Heraclius and
     Heraclius Constantine, each wearing chlamys and crown, cross
     between their heads, with legends for
     D.N.eRACLIO.eT.eRA.CONST.PP., followed by the indictional year.
     The reverse type features a cross potent on three steps, with
     legends VICTORIA.AVG.Z., and mintmark CONOB in the exergue. Coin
     shows typical obverse striking weakness, but otherwise grades a
     nice EF, with clear to bold devices and legends where struck up,
     and a significant amount of the original mint lustre still
     evident. A very attractive example of this rare Carthage Mint
     type, Sear Byzantine 867
