This is coin 10 of 15 from the lot. Couldn't find this one on Numista because one side is mostly worn off but the few letters I can see looks very similar to some Hudid Dynasty Dirhams.

Hudid Dynasty - Islamic States?
1 Sqaure Dirham?
11th Century?
15mm
1.47g

Similar to this one:

Both the Numista coin and your coin are anonymous square dirhams of the Almohad (Muwahhid) dynasty struck from about the 1160s to at least the mid-13th century.

The Numista listings for pre-modern coins are at best deeply flawed and at worst do considerable harm by leading collectors astray. Caveat lector.
