Hello,
It's a follis (big M) minted in the third officina (gamma under the M) of Constantinopolis (CON in exergue) during the 4th year (ANNO II - II in the fields) of the reign of Heraclius and Heraclius Constantine (his son, as co-emperor).

Thank you so much! So this coin is https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces132026.html
but mine's date would be 617. Maybe the page could use some modification?

I agree,
I think you can modify the page by adding a new entry in the mintage section with your year and officina ;)
