Hi there - I have a coin I can't identify.

Seems to be copper, approximately 1" in diameter, looks like Arabic script. Please see the photos and let me know if you need more info. All help appreciated!

PS: pics might be upside down, I'm not even sure of the orientation on this!

@Numister - That was a fast reply. Thank you.

I think you're right about this being an Afghani coin. I've gone through the catalogs and have a few ideas about denomination and year. Hoping others will chime in this weekend.

Thanks to @Numister and @Bacchus2 - I think you nailed it!

I enjoy trying to identify very worn coins. This one had me stumped.
