Okay, I can't tell you much about this coin... which, is why I'm here posting it The coin itself is rather dirty at the moment, and seems to have a good deal of wear, but without knowing what it's supposed to look like, I can't really tell you.

The text looks Arabic, or some other middle-east figures... but honestly, I don't know. Any info would be appreciated. The figure on the obverse, seems to have several medals on his left chest, some sort of military uniform?

It seems pretty old to me... what do you think?

It's from Thailand

And it's a 50 Satang (1/2 Baht) from 1957 I think

Ah yes, that seems to be correct. Here's a 1957 50 Satang I found on ebay. As you can see, they're identical, mine's just in much worse shape. Thanks for the help.
