Hi JR,

On the reverse, below the large M, I think I see "CON". It isn't clear, so it is difficult to tell.

I don't know a lot about Byzantine coins, but I think that refers to the Constantinople mint.

Hi JR,

On the reverse, the "XX" may be reference to the denomination (20 Nummi?).

The "III" may be a reference to the year of mintage (year 3?).

Try early Heraclius 40 Nummia (M) overstruck on Focas 40 Nummia (XXXX)

It would really make sense to me, cheers!
