bump....

I have another set of scans to upload, ,  and a set of pics from under the scope  with the coin a bit cleaner

could this be a monogran on the first side ?

thanks again for any help

EDITED****I have no ideal on the orientation of the first side,  the second side I am pretty sure is correct  showing the 29 ish looking symbole

Yes it is islamic coin, a Mamluk fals of Haji II mint of Dimashq
  792H 1st reign , but your coin is a double strike.
I have the original one see it below.

best regards

Thanks bakkar

I'm Not trying to be rude,  but I honestly  don't see it,  The double struck part that is
