@oriole, that old plug job adds a ton of character to this coin. I think that it might be a 14th Century Fals of the Bahri Mamluks (i.e. Album-935). I don't see an example on numista with those rosettes of six petals on both sides, but here is a link to an old vcoins auction with what I think you have:

That looks like it. I thought that the plug was a piece corroded off, but a look with the glass shows a plug.
Thanks

The "plug" is right between the "h" and "l" of "Halab" (h-l-b). The 'three' {thelath of the date is very clear. Balog 291.
