I need help in identifying this coin. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Hi Zoro,

Do you have size and weight ? It could help to identify. It doesn't looks like gold to me but more like brass.
or gold plated bronze...

Does not look like arabic.
I think it is a belly danser token.
They look like gold....

For the script, agreed, it is not real Arabic. As so often with these things, it is fantasy Arabic probably using a real coin (or another such token!) as a model. The die was engraved by someone who didn't know the Arabic script.

​Hey Luffy,

Im just a beginner. So, I do not have any equipment used for measuring the coin's weight or size.
Sorry.
Ill try measuring it with a scale to get an approximate value.
I would not hope on much value, because it is a token.
But in case it is gold, there is a simple test.
Simply put a drop of vinigar on the edge.
If it is gold, nothing will happen...

Youtube is full of examples for gold and silver testing

But there aren't any holes on it.

​I've always wondered about the purpose of such tokens when they have no holes. Yet, there is no doubt that they are tokens, not coins, and I've seen quite a few on Numista since I joined in May 2016.
