The reverse (first photo) states that the Sultan ... is the son of Ibrahim. Ibrahim had three sons that became sultans:
Mehmed IV 1058-1099 / 1648-1687 (struck many coins)
Suleyman II 1099-1102 / 1687-1691 (struck few coins)
Ahmed II 1102-1106 / 1691-1695 (struck very few coins)

Hopefully someone can determine which ruler issued this coin.

perhaps you can find something on Zeno?

Excellent suggestion from PetrusAscanus. These two seem closest to your coin

Thank you ! The toughra des​ign does look like a variation of what Baghdad mint produced.
I think I can count 5 lines of inscription which would make it the AH 1058 type ( 2nd one listed )
