HUNGARY - BELA III
Hungary -- Bela III (1172-1196) AE Follis. 22 mm. 0.97 grams. 

These coins are attributed  to Bela III, notice the "islamic" script. Some believe they may have been made for use by Crusaders.  Most of the inscriptions are meaningless - I am not sure the maker had any idea what he was copying.   Many early Crusader coins of the Levant were made with Arabic-letter inscriptions. 

Other coins of Bela III (and that time period of Hungary) show a Byzantine influence.
