Its an Islamic copper fals, but could be from many places in Asia, west or central. The only script I see is the kalima, which gives no specific...
Nice find! But I'm not sure about the Snow-10 attribution, the position of the 8 in the denticles looks off. And I really don't see that...

I remember that thread. That's some very interesting background you've found, thanks for posting it.
