The "M" would indicate a follis (40 nummi), I believe, rather than a half follis ("K").

Might be a follis of Justin II and Sophia, I suppose. However - and bear in mind I am out of my element with these - given that both figures appear to be standing rather than enthroned, and one (the right) seems shorter than the other - I wonder if this may be a follis of Heraclius and Heraclius Constantine (without the third party one sometimes sees - Martina), perhaps from an Eastern (Syrian) mint? I do see a Γ below the M.

Echizento is an expert at these. I recommend you post in the Ancients/Medieval section to catch his attention - or the attention of others who are good at these.

Not a lot of detail left to go by, but it's not Justin II. IMO it's Heraclius. Sear# 805.
