As Salem said ,it's early post reform Umayyad coinage without mint or ruler,first Hegire century.For more info ,please check the good work of John Walker:"catalogue of the Arab-Byzantine and post reform Umayyad coins-"London;1956.It's some what an old reference but still good for identification.[similar item:No 638....]
