This is why my specialty is in the Julio-Claudians coinage :) Best guess is a Micheal IV ?

Wrong guess, not saying more to not make it too easy.  |

Not easy in general, but the note in the op is a good clue 'Ancientnoob'.  |

I really have no idea...I'm assuming like AM that is it byzantine...but that my not be the case. the reverse doesn't look familiar, but could be an overstrike jumbled up mess. well, I'm interested.  |

I'll give it a shot. Either Class H Anonymous folles attributed to Michael VIII or Class I attributed to Nicephorus III.

With 'echizento', who knows Byzantine better than anyone else here and who follows all topics, having difficulty, I better give another clue.
'chrsmat71' might be on to something.

Would be nice if I had any of them, so no.
Have not seen any of them posted here, so would have definitely considered those as difficult.

I'll give it one more try John VIII Palaeologus?
