It could be a Mamluk's dirhem / Burji Mamluk
This one of Al-Zahir Jaqmaq (842-857 AH) is not far from yours, I think :  http://islamiccoins.ancients.info/mamluk/alZahirJaqmaq.htm

Yes, and for the other side, I think that your coin offers an other part of the die : the central legend seems to be  the upper one of the picture shown in the link ???

If your coin is not the Balog n° 742, it's with no doubt its sister :D
