Unfortunately I don't know how to read this coin so I'd appreciate any help related with dating this coin (maybe someone could provide a link that could help me how to learn dating these kind of coins?) and finding out the ruler.

The second dirham that I'm trying to decipher is probably found but this one is a tougher cookie. The Zenu doesn't help as there is 1000+ results and when I try to filter by weight / size the results are..... 6 pages of Chinese cash coins.... so it's seems to be some kind of technical problem.
