Coin With Persian Script (I Think) That I Can't ID

MY guess would be a Iranian "civic copper". But I'm not sure what the object on the reverse is supposed to be. Maybe a flower?

"Civic coppers" were struck by local authorities in cities, rather than by the central government mint. This follows the tradition set by the earlier Persian empires, the early Caliphate and even the eastern Romans, where the central government controlled silver and gold coins, but coppers were struck locally and intended for local use only. Their design is entirely un-standardized; the city officials put whatever they liked on the coins. They tend not to name the rulers (either civic or national) or bear dates, hence their being known as "anonymous civic coppers", making attributing them that much more difficult. Many chose distinctive "mintmark" images that could be linked to their specific city, not entirely unlike the mintmark-pictures we can find on Indian States coins.

They are still considered "Iranian coins", and are listed as such in the coin catalogues, because the central government fully authorized the local city rulers to do this in order to provide small change for the local populace, even if the coins were not expected to ever see circulation outside of the city where they were struck. There was nothing legally stopping their circulation elsewhere, but people tended not to bring copper coins with them when they travelled.

The "anonymous civic copper" series also includes cities in what is now Afghanistan and Central Asia.

The towns name is usually inscribed on Civic coppers, though the name may be hard to read.

And yes, German Notgeld tokens are probably the closest analogy we will find in the modern coinage series. The difference being that Notgeld tokens certainly had far more issuers (thousands of different issuing towns, if I recall correctly, compared to about a hundred mint-cities in Iran and surrounds), and Notgeld are definitely "tokens", not "coins", being issued as substitute-coins because the Government of the day couldn't issue regular coins due to bankruptcy. Notgeld coins definitely would not have been accepted outside of the town they were issued in, while civic coppers probably would have been accepted - it just didn't happen very often. I don't think the German government ever explicitly legalized, authorized or sanctioned Notgeld issue, they were just powerless to stop it.

With just a few notable exceptions (like the Hamburg city-state coins), most German notgeld is not listed in the world coin catalogues. Anonymous civic coppers are listed, though the listings may be incomplete. While there were fewer issuing cities, there are probably more different types per city in the Iranian civic copper series than in the German Notgeld series.

I think this might just be a mangir from Egypt,

There's a rather good book, written some time ago - in 1911 - by WH Valentine called Modern (!) Copper coins of the Muhammadan States, I recommend it if you see it for sale - it was reprinted in the early 70's.

I started with the thought "that doesn't look Iranian to me", I didn't find the exact coin in the book but I did find one suspiciously similar, then I could look on Zeno in roughly the right place....
