From a German collection.
This coin is usually assigned to Maurice Tiberius, probably because other issues (with the denomination mark H rather than M) bear his titles; however, it has also been suggested that this issue was struck by Justin II with his wife Sophia and his heir Tiberius Constantine. In any case, this may well be the finest example known.
