The only coin I found, not in books but in the web, on which the style and the emperors depiction is similar to the reverse of my coin (face,crown,position of the left arm, crucifer sceptre ...and dress.....weight  dimensions is this one:...probably unpublished

Mathew Kantakuzenos, 1354 - 1357 n. Chr. Billon-Tornese (0,51 g.), OBV.: patriarchal cross, l. and. r. B (retr.) - B. REV.: emperor with crucifer sceptre. Akakia, r. K, l. . Sear - .

There are a number of rare unattributed Tornese from who knows where or when.
John V Palaeologos and Matthew Kantakuzenos are popular guesses in some cases but that's all they are.
