Pleaaaaaaaase?Its double struck, that much I can tell you from here. Double struck Byzantine follles are already enough like a Rorschack test!
Right side up would help also.
Justinian I ?

I'd help if I could
Maurice Tiberius maybe?
On the reverse, the K indicates the denomination, a Half Follis, or 20 nummi. The ANNO means year, IIII indicates the year number, and the chi-rho is a control marker, and the A indicates the officina (mint workshop) which struck the coin.

I seached around on the net and could't find a match. How do you know it is
