Hello everyone,

I'm seeking help identifying and valuing this Islamic gold coin, which was found in Central Asia and is now part of my personal collection.

Coin Details:
Weight: 11.5 grams
Diameter: 28.3 mm
Metal: Gold
Mint (suspected): Baghdad
Estimated period: Abbasid Caliphate, possibly during the reign of Al-Nasir li-Din Allah (r. 1180–1225 CE)
Condition: Very well preserved; inscriptions are legible with magnification

We believe this may be a multiple dinar (possibly triple dinar) due to the unusually high weight. The script appears typical for late Abbasid issues, possibly ceremonial or high-value trade-related.

Any help confirming:
The ruler and mint
Whether this is a triple dinar or regional variant
Approximate value range
...would be very appreciated.

Thank you!
