Byzantine copper alloy coin: possibly a tetarteron which were small, thick copper coins of this period. It is likely to date from the 11-13th century. The design of the Virgin Mary(?) on the obverse and standing figure on the reverse was within the remit of this period, although not exacatly the same.
