Here two scans of the same coin, first in colour:

Question-For-The-Early-Byzantine-Specialists. Question-For-The-Early-Byzantine-Specialists.

The next is in grey shades - sorry, not identical alignment:

Question-For-The-Early-Byzantine-Specialists. Question-For-The-Early-Byzantine-Specialists.

The coin is definitely a nummus, the A is clearly visible. But the question is about the issuer. With a diameter of 7mm, it is small for a Byzantine issue but could it be from Justinian II? Or is it an imitative issue? And if that, by whom?

Honestly, I don't believe there is enough of the coin remaining to make any type of concrete attribution.

I can't tell if that's a monogram or something else. Really not enough details for an ID.

Thanks for looking guys, have to put it to rest as an unknown Nummus of the 6th century then.
