A very worn copper-alloy coin of uncertain type, possibly a Byzantine coin of uncertain Emperor, c.5th-10th centuries AD? The coin has a flattened oval shaped flan that has been folded at one end, with one face illegible due to post-depositional damage and wear. This is possibly a core from a plated gold(?) Byzantine coin rather than a copper-alloy coin.
