It is not an imitation.

It appears to me to be a 40 nummi piece (the M mark) of Constans II, Constantinople mint (CON under the M), 17th year of his reign (X :V2: II in the right field), so 657/8 AD.

This would make it Sear 1009.

These coins were often struck on old flans of earlier, larger coins that have been halved, thirded (if that is a word), or even quartered.
