Hello,
I think this is a Byzantine coin (guessing from the M) but can't find anything similar. Can anyone help me?

diameter: 31mm
thickness: 2mm
weight: 16g

Hello,
I think it's a 40 nummi minted under Anastasius I in the 5th officina of Constantinopolis.
Some variants exist for this type with different point numbers for the stars.
