Hello,

I think it's more likely to be an arabo-byzantine fals, or at least a byzantine coin.
Such as this one :
https://bsjauctions.com/BSJO4-lot-104-Arab-Byzantine?arr=0&auction_id=114&box_filter=0&cat_id=&department_id=&exclude_keyword=&export_issue=0&high_estimate=30000&image_filter=0&keyword=&list_type=list_view&lots_per_page=10&low_estimate=0&month=&page_no=1&paper_filter=0&search_type=&sort_by=lot_number&view=lot_detail&year=

But I have no knowledge in this type of coinage, I couldn't help more.

But I think it's a good hint. Thanks
