Watch List notes:

BYZANTINE EMPIRE: Heraclius, 610-641, AE follis (16.91g), Jerusalem, year 4 (613/614), S-852B, DN HERAC LIUS PP AVG, crowned bust, facing, holding eagle-tipped scepter / M for denomination (=40 nummi), ANNO to left, II II to right, and IEROCO mint name below, nice strike, with minimal weakness, one of the finest known specimens, as most known specimens of this extremely rare type are poorly struck and often badly preserved, About VF, RRR. This type was struck during the Persian siege of Jerusalem. The siege commenced in September 613 and terminated in the Persian occupation in May 614, well into Heraclius' 4th year of reign. It was undoubtedly struck due to a severe shortage of ordinary Byzantine copper coins during the siege. Jerusalem remained in Persian control until it was reconquered by Heraclius in 629. There are two subtypes, one with the mint name IEROCO for Jerusalem in the exergue, the other with the phrase XC NIKA. All are dated year 4, and there was no further coinage at Jerusalem during the Persian occupation.
