Heraclius, with Heraclius Constantine and Heraclonas. 610-641. AV Solidus (20mm, 4.36 g). Constantinople mint, 5th officina. Dated IY 10 (AD 636/7). Heraclonas, Heraclius, and Heraclius Constantine standing facing, each holding globus cruciger; all but Heraclonas crowned / Cross potent set on three steps; monogram to left, I (date) right (either partially erased or filled); Є//CONOB. DOC 36e; MIB 42; SB 761. Small obverse die break; reverse die somewhat worn and / or modified. Near EF.
It appears the indictional year I (10) normally found in the right reverse field of this issue has either been erased from the die, or has been partially filled in. A ghostly "I" is still visible. Perhaps the die was being re-cut with a different indictional year and was used prematurely.
