This is my newest one. It’s worn but the price was low enough so I bought it. I’m not sure about the description.
Nice pick-up. Here's a similar example of mine: Anonymous Æ 40 Nummi (28 mm, 10.47 g, 6 h). Time of Basil II (976-1025 AD) and Constantine VIII (1025-1028 AD). Constantinople (Modern Instanbul, Turkey) mint.
