@dalke, first welcome to CCF. Second, please post the other side of this coin plus a weight. Also, as you can see, this first picture is quite out of focus--tightening that would definitely help us. Thx.

Definitely Byzantine. And definitely not supposed to have that hole - someone, presumably in mediaeval times, drilled a hole in it.
