Phocas standing facing, holding globus cruciger in his right hand and Leontia standing facing, holding cruciform scepter in her right hand; above, cross; barbarous legend around / Large M, cross above, officina A or Δ below; barbarous legend around. Fine.

The visible legend vaguely resembles Latin and Greek and is clearly not Arabic, it must be the result of a local forger.
