This coin weighs 2.83g and is 20x17mm. It appears to be some sort of Arab-Byzantine Constans II type? Any help with this identification would be most appreciated.

Arab Pseudo-Byzantine, c. 640s-670s, apparently Goodwin type E (standing imperial figure/ lower case m). The pseudo-Byzanstine coins are essentially sttaight-forward Syrian imitations of Byzantine types. Album 3504.

Thank you so much Kushanshah for the attribution! Could you please check out the other Byzantine Follis I posted as well (post #101). I think that one is a regular Constans II issue but I am struggling to give it an SB # because of the weird bottom symbols.
