Dear forum members,
can anyone help to identify this coin, please? It weighs 2.65g and measures 18mm. Many thanks in advance

Coin looks overstruck. Makes it a bit harder to recognize. Your lower photo seems to show a lion with sun above. Unfortunately, this also only limits possibilities just a bit.

Thanks THCoins - I thought maybe Mamluk or Seljuk - I hadn't noticed the sun, but looking again at the coin it seems that there could be one over the lion. I'll keep looking through zeno, etc...

The legend is not easy to decipher but could contain "zarb Shiraz +?.." which,  associated with the lion & sun on reverse, leads me to think to an Aq Quyunlu fals.

Thanks saro for your answer.... I' ll start looking in that direction to see if I can find anything similar.
Thanks again
