byzintine ID and grade help

I got a few of these in a coin trade and I'm at a loss ( normal day for me image ) detail seems pretty good on these but I haven't seen enough of them to know how to grade them. I have about half a dozen of them they are kinda the same but a little different. If I could get and ID I can do a google and get a starting point.

thanks
Ken

    I recently bought 6 of these thin coins , and they are called billon (low silver content) aspron trachy , I paid 1 euro times 6 ,
    average weight of my lot is 1,5 gram for each coin.
    but your coin looks much better.
    hope this helps.

    These were essentially a fiduciary coinage so the weight standard was somewhat flexible. These come in the low 2.X grammes and high 4.x grammes and everywhere in between.
