Hello pinpoint
I think this is a coin from Maurice Tiberius, because I can read tib.. on it, but I´m not really sure. It was double strucked. Let us wait for the meaning of the experts.
greetings

Hello Antonian ,
Exactly , the double struck is the problem of this coin.
First we thought it is a Follis of Tiberius II but now we see that Maurice Tiberius is a better option !
Thanks for your exellent help .
Kind regards , Pinpoint

Sorry folks, but in my oppinion this is an Heraclius, if you have a close look at the emperor´s face, you will see him bearded. The coin is a composition of a Tiberius Constantine or a early Maurice Tiberius, overstruck by a Phocas (you see the ANNO on the left side of the emperor´s head) and at last the Heraclius layer.
