hey guys, I spotted this coin in a lot of world coins that I found while searching ebay, it seems to be of Middle Eastern origin due to the script on the reverse of this coin but could also be Netherlands East Indies. What is it exactly and would it be worth it if I buy the whole lot for just that coin?
Thanks for your help.

It's Saudi Arabian, but I don't have enough context/scale to tell what denomination.

Sap,
thank your for your help. Based on the size I found it to be a Silver Half Riyal. Just placed a bid for it.
Have a great weekend :)
