I've been given a possible translation of the Arabic script as maybe a personal name, Maraheb Fahd. It looks too modern to feature in any catalogs and may remain anonymous unless someone has seen it before. Base metal, 21 mm.

I searched both Google and Google Images for Maraheb Fahd, but was unable to find a match except to this thread.

So I searched 'Nugent Dirt' instead - you may get a bit of a laugh when you follow this one up!

That specific ship design is a device seen on Kuwait coins. So maybe it places the token there?

Thank you, it is most certainly a match.

Nice job @tdz. You seem to be right about that being a dhow used often on Kuwaiti coins. As to an exact match on the interwebs, I'm still coming up with nothing though.
