Looks like a transitional type (not a mule, both dies are different) obv like KM 31, rev like KM 32.

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

For me, this coin is well KM32 with a "flower between 2 swords" & "zarb amal balad Balkh" (struck in the mother city of Balkh)

Dear Saro, please note that the second photo reads, "Umm Al-Belaad أم البلاد " referring to " Balkh بلخ ".
The Arabs called it "Umm Al-Belaad أم البلاد ", meaning Mother of Cities on account of its antiquity.

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

Thank you very much for your comments and the link.
I will classify it as KM#32.
