The other side of this coin is completely worn away.
I can make out the date...it is Islamic year 1333.
Can anyone tell me what I have here?
Thanks

I think you should look in Yemen 1914AD

Thanks...we are getting close!
Under high magnification I have determined that the date is really 1322.
Coin is 29mm and weighs 4.8 gr.
Nothing on Numista matches, but it almost has to be the Mutawakkkilite Kingdom don't you think?

Oh, it is Y3..1/40 Riyal.
What was throwing me off was the ascension year of 1322!
Since the reverse of this coin is gone I will never know what year it was actually minted...oh well!
Thanks for the help!
