Courtesy of Stoa Image Gallery, album 131, Nov. 2010 This class of follis (9-11g.) was introduced in year twenty (629- 630) in an effort to return the AE coinage to its earlier weight and value. In year 21, the weight fell to 6-8g, two years later to approx. 4.5-6g. These are frequently overstruck on earlier coins, often of Heraclius' own reign.
