It is encased in gold, so the other side isn't visible! It's approximately 29 mm in diameter.

I don't read Arabic, though I recognize a few words. That said,

The inscription around the outside bears some likeness to this -

Not from the present evidence. We would also need the weight without the mounting, at least.

I'm not sure it is a coin. Not in Numista or Zeno.

Yes, it looks the same. Do you know what your coin is exactly?
