Definitely not European as it has arabic text on the very worn side. Of course, the side that can give most information about it is the most worn.

Could be a Sassanian style coin from Bukhara

Well, finally, I found, something that looks very similar to my coin here:
http://grifterrec.rasmir.com/centralasia/centralasia2.html
The coin labelled: Caliph al-Amin (809 - 814 AD)
The first image, which is the reverse, on my original post is upside down.
