Byzantine, possibly a follis of Romanus III (11th century). I recommend posting to the ancients section for feedback from the good folks there.

It appears, as Bob says, to be a follis of Romanus III from the 11th century. More details can be found on the Wildwinds site at this link:-

A nice example of Romanus III. The legend translates to "JESUS CHRIST KING OF KINGS"
