Size and weight of your coin fit the specifications for the small module Folles of Anastasius I. They are actually post-reform coins (pre-reform is only the Nummus), yet from the first phase of a lighter weight standard. There are six different basic types of the small Folles. Yours is Sear 16. They are relatively common, but considerably less common than the large module Folles. Your coin is a nice example for the issue.

Small module coinage was issued in two stages, 498-507 and 507-512. Yours belongs to the second stage, which is somewhat more common. Nice coin!
