hi,
i get this coin, but I can't identify it.

the coin has arabic insciptions on both sides.
On reverse text is all surrounded by a 8 point star.

The coin is bronze made and its diameter is 24mm (0.945 inch) large.

I'm pratically sure that the coin is a moroccan falus, but I have no idea about mint and year of issue.

thanks for help!

ciao!

I don't think it's Moroccan; the style of lettering (with the little serifs at the tips of each letter) indicates it's quite old; I'm thinking Mamluk Egypt, similar to this one on zeno.ru.
