Hi Ray

This is a fals of the Mamluk sultan of Egypt Al-Nasir Nasir al-Din Muhammad, issued during his third reign (709-741 H./ 1310-1341 AD), Cairo mint, undated, Balog 231.

Both your pictures are upside down, the obverse is on the left.

Best wishes

Alan

Hi  Manzikert;
Sorry about the pictures being upside down. I am not very familiar with Islamic writing. Thank-you so much for the attribution. The coin is in very good shape for being almost 700 years old!
Regards, Ray
