Hi, Temple Merneptah Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs Duck Sedge Bee Ankh Henen in museum annex for pharaoh who reigned around 1212-1202BC, is on the West Bank of the Nile at Luxor.  May by colonial roman or greek coin?
Someone have an idea?

The way I see it ;
Arabic words and names were over struck on non-Islamic coin or non -Islamic object. ( Or see the end of my input )

Second photo of your coin ;
I can read The victory  النصر
I can read Mohammed ( written artistically with unusal way and  thin letters)   محمد
Could be also read Omar  ( with artisitc R looks more like D ) عمر
unless it meant to be the letter D ,    A'mm' DD   ( means on purpose ) عمد

the word on your first photo is also ( same way but rich letter )Omar عمر ( R also looks more like D ) , which also can be A'mm' DD ( means on purpose ) عمد

I hope that helps in any way.
Welcome to FORVM , NETR.  

Added ; There is an Ummayyd Duck , I think but this type of letter used on the word The victory can not be from that era.

Maybe the 5 ( or 6 maybe ) petal flower with dots in between will lead to something.
Interesting combination !

Hello Sam,
I thought it was a bee symbol very used in Egyptian antiquity
