The following one is not a particular rare coins but gives an idea about south italy coins in byzantine style. It's a follis fraction by Roger II minted in Messina in 1138-1140

Not that rare but I would say it is extremly rare in this condition

a very interesting coin, though I suppose not a regular Byzantine coin of the Alexandrian mint,
but possibly a very well done Islamic imitation.
I have never seen this combination of obverse / reverse before and will try to find out more about it soon.

I have to correct myself: of course it´s just a regular Constans II, Sear 1026,  MIB 188,
