The key to narrowing down the identity of this one is the date, below the mosque dome: 1358. The numeral "5" is in the Persian style; only Iran and Afghanistan use this on coins.

It's from Iran, one of the "azadi" series of gold bullion coins of AD 1979 (KM# 1238 to 1241). The azadi has the exact same actual gold weight as a British sovereign; though slightly heavier, they are also slightly less fine.
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
