    This one measures 29mm and weighs 10.90-10.91 grams.

    Any clues about the language, age or area are much appreciated. Thanks!

    Looks like a turkomen figural bronze. They copied many famous coin types in about the 11-12th centuries.

    Looks like Ayyubids. Al Ashraf Musa(1210-1220). Date to left and right of head, but I can't read it.
