Hello - Can anyone help me out with this coin? It is sized about 15mm-19mm & 7g.

I'm not even sure if I have it oriented correctly.

Thanks very much!

looks like a 'brass' replica.
Mimics arabic writing
In the middle of the first pic are symbols that look like a date.

Thank you! Do you think it could be a contemporary counterfeit of a gold coin?

I do not find anything familiar about it.
Perhaps someone else could answer?
Or perhaps you can send the pictures to:

With a combination of pictures, weight and the dimension information supplied, it seems to be much too light for a gold coin.

A gold mohur weighs around 11 grammes.

Second picture is upside down.
Whatever this is it is some sort of fantasy issue - it's not based on a genuine coin.

Thanks for the replies :) FYI I got some outside assistance and this was the verdict:

Modern good-luck piece of some sort, Muslim obverse, probably 1950s or so. Little value.
