Looks like Abbasid:

or do a search for 'Abbasid AV'

That is the best I can do for this coin:snif:

I agree with Roublizer, it's definitely Buyid gold coin.

Islamic Buwayhid, Baha al-Dawla, 379-403/989-1012 - AV Pale Gold Dinar Date : 401 H Mint : Suq al Ahwaz ( Persia ) Weight : 3.63 g. A-1573a.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Stefan

The problem I have with these coins is the fact they are hammered.
There are so many variations....
Not able to read the text, I Always have problems to find the correct determination. :snif:

Nice coin!
I hope I may have sometime one in my collection....

​I will check and modify, probably an identification error due to the wear and tear of the coin
