Evening all!
I was looking through a tray of uncleaned ancients at a local coin shop and found a coin I've never seen before.
I believe it is a Concordi Decanummi from Anastatius or Justin I's reign (SB 26), or a barbarous copy of such a coin. Can anyone confirm which? Diameter is about 14mm.
Has no mintmark.
I apologize for the low quality of the photo-again, this coin is too small to photograph well. In any case, the obverse is very worn, although it appears that it was fairly well made, judging by what is left.

The 10 nummi of Anastasius at the bottom of page 9 here also has no mintmark:

The front does look pretty "official", although not much is left. Thanks for both your help!
