Number one and two are similar, but different. Compare the left pictures. The second and third line are the same. The first line on number one looks absent on number two, while the fourth line on number one (3 characters) seems to be the first line on number two (four characters). I suspect this line contains the mint name.

The sides pictured on the right both have the Kalima in Kufi writing, which provides no numismatic information.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

This coin is very demanding, a great learning. I appeal to all the experts here in the forum, I tell the numismatist masters.
