    The coin side in your right picture shows the Islamic declaration of faith: "La Illaha Illa / Allah Muhammad / rasul Allah". That's so generic that it does not help in attribution.
    The left picture reads "al-Sultan / al-a'zam" : "The great Sultan". His name unfortunately is only partly visible on the third line. One of the fragment visible likely is the character "K". My first guess would be that this is an early Seljuk Fals. They had a lot of rulers with "K" in their name.

    So it's possibly a Seljuk coin?
