    I've had this coin laying around for some time and as I don't know very little about ancient coins, I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me what it is.
    Thanks, Mike.

    It's a Byzantine follis. The Greek letter M stands for 40 nummi.

    It's probably Heraclius and Constantine (7th century), see the Wildwinds list SB 805 and 810.
