Small coin with star, Arabic writing. A little help needed.

This coin is 1.6g and 18.6 mm in diameter.



Any help on this one would be much appreciated.

Not a coin, but a passage token to cross a bridge.

Quote "It was a special coin to use for bridge money, worth 20 para. In truth, because the word 'token' had not yet entered our language, the bridgecrossing token was called 'bridge money' and had the value of 20 paras. If someone who had no money, ran across to escape the bridgemen, two or three of them would chase him clear to the other side, collar him and sometimes bring him all the way back before throwing him off the bridge."

It has resemblance with Mauritania coins.

Thank you ZacUK...again. Too new to have read that post...but thanks. I have 5 or 6 of these; they came with the coins I bought on Friday.

Kommodore, I know what you mean about Mauritania, I looked at those too.
