I have always wanted an ancient coin so I bought this at the last coin show I attended. I don't know anything about them so I looked up Heraclius and found out a little about him now I have questions about the coin. Is there a denomination for this coin? Is it a medal turn or a flip rev? Is there a site that shows a better example of this coin? No matter what I find out, I sure like this one, hope you do too. Thanks for any help you may be able to offer. Danny
Well you can start here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraclius Then go on to this site and you might find a matching coin http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/
I really can't tell much from your pictures. Try backing the camera up a bit, giving it a bit more light. From what I can see, i'd say its probably either Justin II or Heraclius, and either a follis or half follis.
