Hello fellow collectors,

This is Islamic gold coin from my personal collection, found in Central Asia. I'm looking for assistance with identification, ruler confirmation, and valuation guidance.
Coin Details:
Weight: 4.37 grams
Diameter: 28.4 mm
Metal: Gold
Script style: Square-in-circle design, possibly Mamluk or Buyid inspired
Estimated period: Possibly 11th century
Name reference (suspected): "Aimaduddin bin Husain" / "Imad al-Din ibn Husayn"

Our current theory is that this coin could be associated with Imad al-Din Marzuban Abu Kalijar of the Buyid dynasty (~1030s CE), or another local/regional authority during the decline of the Abbasid caliphate.

Would love help with:
Transcription of key inscriptions
Identifying mint and Hijri year (if visible)
Confirming ruler and region
Estimated market value
Thanks in advance for your insights!

Thank you in advance.
