Unfortunately, some coin dealers only know modern coins, and even them, the majority of their business is in slabbed coins, or modern mint product.
When something like this comes to such a dealer, it matters little if their knowledge is lacking when it comes to Byzantine coins. Their business has no market for such a piece.
This sort of situation could very possibly explain the badly mistaken description.
