This one is also from one of those early Islamic dynastys. Possibly Ayyubid or Gorids
If you have a lot of time, have a peruse through this section of Zeno
http://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=1
there are a lot of categories there but that lion should be easy to spot - not that many of these dynasties used that emblem (indeed some don;t portray any living thing on their coins). It looks like the lion of the Seljuks of Rum - but I can't recall seeing that imagery withough the sunface. It's more likely to be from the pre-Iran type area.
Good luck
