I picked this interesting coin from a group with several Arab-Byzantine issues. in it  It measures approximately 20.30 mm and weighs 2.67 g.  On the obverse is a standing emperor facing, holding long cross or staff in his right hand and the cross on globe in his left hand.  On the reverse, there is a cursive M with what looks like a blunder Arabic caption below.  I can't decide whether this is a Constans II regular issue or a Arab-Byzantine of the Pseudo-Byzantine type.  Any opinions?  Pogh-poor

It's Arab-Byzantine of the Pseudo-Byzantine type, no doubt.
