I agree and will move this over to the ancients and medievals section of CCF so that we can get the right eyeballs on it. @dave, welcome to CCF!

It looks like Romanus III, 1028-1034 AD, with the reverse upside down.

This appears to be a Class B Anonymous Follis attributed to Romamnus III, these were usually overstruck on other coins as this appears to be on the reverse. Sear # 1823.
