@mrv, I'm no expert in Byzantine coins, but I am quite sure that this is what you have here. The denomination is that big letter M on the rev (40 Nummi). ANNO stands for year, but the right side of the flan is too ragged to make out which regnal year--maybe 6? Also, the CON in the exergue means that it was minted at Constantinople.

Your first picture is upside down I believe, but I can make out a few key letters (d M TIB P).

I'm hoping someone with more knowledge will weigh in, but Tiberius II Constantine from the 6th Century seems to be a likely ruler (especially Sear #430). Here is a link to a clearer coin for comparison with yours:

I'm going to move this thread over to our ancients subforum in the hope that someone can confirm my attribution or gently correct me.

Byzantine follis, Tiberius Constantine, Constantinople mint, 1st officina. I can't quite read the date but I think year 6 or 7.
