If It is not the imitation, than it is Byzantion coin from Constantinopolis,

Looking Iustinus ??? or Justinianus decanummium

This is a barbarous (contemporary) imitation.  The reverse right field should have the date, not another two crosses plus partial date.  Also the style is too crude.

This came from ground... metal detecting find on a Celtic - Roman site...
So I don't think it is imitation.

This one is ancient imitation as Tom described (contemporary, barbar).
You have to find by metal detecting, because this one are approx. similar age like a genuin coin, but sure byzantine imitation..

Yes, very nice. 

Definitely 6th century not 5th.  The obverse legend shows that it is clearly imitating Justinian or Julian and not Anastasius.  So must be into 6th century.
