I don't have the coin nor did I take the pictures. It is said to weigh 4.2 grams It was claimed to be Fatimid, but I cannot find a match on vcoins or MAshops.

Umayyads of Spain, Hisham II al-Mu'ayyad, 2nd reign, 1010-1013, AV dinar, al-Andalus, AH 402, citing 'Abd Allah (as vizier?) below obverse. Miles 346(a); Album 359 (RR).

Hisham is cited on reverse as al-imam Hisham / amir al-mu'minin / al-Mu'ayyad billah.

Thanks, @Kushanshah!

It is considered rare but did not sell at that auction you referred to.

Moderate wear but legends more distinct than some coins of technically higher grade. Worth owning at the right price. Here is the listing from George Miles' The Coinage of the Umayyads of Spain (ANS, New York, 1950), Part I, p. 524:
