Echizento is the expert on these. I do see a globus cruciger on the obverse. Constans II perhaps? Or perhaps an Arab-Byzantine imitative? I'm sure Ron will chime in.

It is probably a tetarteron or a half tetarteron


similar to

possibly not that same coin, but it is likely minted in the 1100s....
