This single coin - Byzantine follis was found among other objects that needs proper attribution in a time scale (1015-1035 AD).
So I would be grateful for expert opinion regarding more precise mintage date for particular issue - to state Terminus post quem for the other objects found.
Thanks in advance!

There is a distinctive round annulet with dot in the middle - below the reverse legend. Maybe it could be helpful?

chrsmat71 was right. It is a Byzantine anonymous bronze (really copper) of "Class A2" which is attributed to Basil II and Constantine VIII, 976-1025. Sear Byzantine Coins and Their Values, 1813. We do not know when this coin was minted more precisely than that wide 50-year time span. Most Byzantine coins can be pinned down a lot closer than that.

Thanks! Maybe someone with an eye on stylistic differences could see differences between earlier and late issues? Usually in a 50-year time span there should be seen such trends.
