Congratulations Quadrans.
This is a nice weight, which was made of a Byzantine Follis. Such a design is well known and has been widely made of coins of Anastasius (During his monetary reform). For further examples, see Weber: "Late Antiquty Weights" - The Second Life of Antique
and Late Antiquity Coins -

Thank you Basil ,
I read the Weber's book   ;) :) +++

 I do not recognized exactly it is Anastasius Follis...


 I saw in the book a protocontorniate coin too, I have one ( Marc Aurel.) in my Gallery ...:
