Judging by the distorted inscriptions, this is an Arab-Byzantine imitation of year III Constant II "INPER CONST" type follis. Such imitations are relatively common and some are of high quality portraiture.

Thanks for the reply, I have searched through countless arab byzantine types but all these bust types have an arabic inscription in exergue and they all at least attempt to copy the Inper const lettering, my coin has the letters TNo to right of bust and NOA in exergue . Would really hope someone might provide an example of a coin similar to mine.
thanks again  +++
