Hello and welcome.

This is not actually a coin. What you have here is an Islamic pilgrim's token from India/Pakistan. They are part of a broader series of Indian religious tokens known in the West as "temple tokens". We've seen them here in the Identification forum many times before; if you don't know what it is, it's pretty much impossible to try to work it out just by looking at it, even for people who can read the Arabic script. Here's one found by an Australian member.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
