What you have here is not an actual coin - even though it's designed to look like one.

It was made by the Society for Creative Anachronism, a historical re-enactment society that, among other things, tries to reproduce ancient and mediaeval coinage by authentic methods. Your coin is modelled on a mid-Byzantine period follis, but the ruler's title, "King Barak of An Tir", is fictitious - no such king or kingdom ever existed outside of the SCA.

The coin is listed on this thread of the Unrecognised States Numismatic Society forum as being struck in 1994.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Thank you so much. This was found in the sand of a beach. It appeared to be a coin. You are an outstanding researcher.
