I got this coin as a freebie with a purchase. It was unattributed. I am thinking Mamluk Fals maybe Egypt? Any one familiar with the type?

From style i think you are correct. Either Mamluk or Ayyubid. Please indicate size and weight ?

Aww thanks Allan. I can finally put this one to bed. I believe this was the last unidentified coin in my collection. I suppose I should buy a lot so you guys can stay on your toes. Many thanks Fellas.
