This is the reason I joined the Forum. I've had it for years but never identified. The best I can do is that it is 20 of something. My Arabic friend said the words did not make sense to him. Is it Persian? Kurdish? Looks fairly recent. I flipped through every single page in 1900's Krause and even 1800's Krause (just in case) but did not see anything. Could it possibly be so worn 2000's coin? - I don't have the current century. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, good job on the id. At first I thought of Brunei, something looked similar:
