Does anybody have a clue what this coin could be?
It's very penny-like, which is why I got it (cashier at Wendy's).
I'm not sure which side is which, but one has a pair of crossed swords with some sort of image over top. On top and underneath it has writing in a different language, I thought Arabic at first, but google searches make me think maybe not. The other side, (if I flip it like a normal US penny, like from right side up Honest Abe to right side up Monument), it would have what appears to be an upside down delta, or rounded triangle. At the top it would appear to say 131, on the sides the crossed swords like on front, and the bottom more writing.

I'm just curious what it could be. I have accepted so many different currencies, even non-legal tender such as Casino tokens lol. I like seeing what I can find out. Thanks for the help :)
