Hi Maythem

Yes it is Puzzling

I could read مشق (دمشق) or سيف on the right photo
but are you able to read anything from the left photo

I think this coin is Mamluk, 648-922 ▼ » Muhammad I (al-Nasir Nasir al-Din), 3rd reign, 709-741 » AE fals » Dimashq

as I looked at every Mamluk coin in Zeno, and that is the the closest match was those of the Muhammad I (al-Nasir Nasir al-Din), 3rd reign, 709-741 » AE fals » Dimashq

Coin collecting has a curious name. It is also called the "Hobby of Kings".
