This one has been driving me nuts trying to find. I have not been able to find a specific match but I believe that it is from the Mughal Empire Akbar. India late 1500’s. But there are fakes out there of these coins so could be a replica.

I would venture a guess that it is in Arabic. Probably from one of the OLD Islamic states. I found these which are similar but none seem to match your coin exactly. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=&ct=coin&im1=&im2=&tb=y&tc=y&tn=y&tp=y&tt=y&cat=y&ru=&ca=3&no=&v=&i=&b=3&ie=&u=&a=&dg=&m=1&f=square&t=&w=&mt=&g=&se=&d= Hopefully this will help you in the right direction.
