Looks like sear 815, I however see monogram 21 to the right of the cross on the obverse, and do not see that mentioned as being located there. Typically it is above the K on reverse.

What we can see on the obverse is monogram 23, not monogram 21.

If you look at DOC II, the description of Heraclius type 118 obverse (p.302), includes the sentence, “To l., [picture of monogram 23]; to right, K (usually not clear)”

I think Sear’s BCV book (Sear 815 corresponds to DOC 118 - 124) just gets the details wrong here.
