    Please help with ID, I think it might be Abbisid.

    Dia. 18mm, weight approx 3grams.

    Looks like it made from some low grade silver, its too light in color to be bronze, but pretty dark for silver.

    At first glance, I thought maybe a dirhem of the Abbasid Caliphate. But the script looks wrong. Maybe Ayyubids? I'll have to get back to this one.

    I'm pretty sure now that its Ghaznavid. But I still can't read it.

    In the first picture it's written "No god but Allah, Muhammed Allah's prophet"
    The second picture is upside down!! It's written Sultan ... I can't read the rest.
