Identification Help - Bronze About 29mm ca. 9 grams

[PtolemAE]

Hello Byzantine Experts

The images were taken with cell phone through plastic film so not the best but the design and inscriptions are pretty clear.  Looks like many Byzantine bronze coins I've seen and I have no expertise with them at all so hoping someone here will recognize the type and can help identify it.  Size about 29mm diameter, weight about 9 - 10 grams.  Seems about like the size and weight as a Roman imperial 'As' coin.

Reverse has a dotted border and inscription on four lines which appear to read (at least in part):

...hSUS
KRISTUS
BASIL...
.ASIL...

Letters appear like modern 'Roman' alphabet and seems likely the language is Latin.

More of the letters are clear but I'm not sure how they read.

There are two vertical strokes below the inscription. 

Obverse also seems to have dotted border and depicts of a person with long hair and symbols around the head (Christian depiction with cross would seem to be consistent with the inscription).

Begging your indulgence with compromised image quality.  Time period, ruler, date, mint, or other information will be helpful and thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you, Vlad.  That gets us on the right track.  The latter coin in your reference has somewhat different details - dots on the 'nimbus' decorations instead of little squares (on my specimen) and a different symbol beneath the inscription but it's clearly a related variant.  Upon closer inspection of my coin the small symbol at the bottom of the reverse appears to be another square, not simply the two vertical strokes I first described.  The reference on this web site to which you referred shows those symbol combinations and mine appears to be '#47'.

Is this particular type/variant especially common or in any way unusual?  Seems there are many varieties of decorations and symbols on these 'anonymous follies'.  It was put into its cardboard 2x2 holder in the early 1960s - my father's handwriting is on the holder.  I've had it a long time.  Kind of a nice thing to know more about.
