Dear kimo, attached photo (Mongoliancoins.com) is similar style to your coin but yours is not Bukhara mint; the attached coin is 5.6 gm, 31 mm:
Great Mongol Khans, AE Dirham, Bukhara mint
Obverse (left photo): Bukhara بخارا
Reverse (Right photo): " Mengu  منكو " - probably name of Monghe Khagan.
I hope this helps
