The obverse is pretty rough, but it looks like a coin of Justinian I....to my old eyes.
Let's see what others think.

Yup.  And the A below the K indicates that it is Constantinople's 1st workshop.

Can't make out the full date (to the right of the K).  I can see XII - which fits year 12 (=538 AD), the first of this issue.  But it could be XIII or one with X and the strange Byzantine 5  :V: 

That would make it MIBE 96.

Justinian's half folles from year 12-15 are very large, basically the size of a follis from the later sixth century. What's the size/weight of this piece?
