Thank you very much! I see the emperor is looking to the right and bandage on his head.

I do not think that this is Bulgarian imitation, but badly struck official issue of Isaac II

The appearance of the emperor's face seems to be an artifact of bad striking. I believe it still is "emperor facing". I tend to classify the coin as an official Constantinople mint specimen, badly struck.
