Do you have any sort of information regarding the finding place? Usually this is important when countermarks are involved.

Should be an Anastasius small module half follis - there are more than 10 diff. punchmarks
applied on the first issues of Anastasius ( 498-512 ) after the introduction of the second series in 512
