silver 17mm / 0,52g
Uniface and very thin, the reverse gives the incuse mirror image of  the obverse : "مبارک باد mubarak bad"
very close to this one with just a different arrangement of the text.
could be dated : 1265 ?

Nice object ! What would this have been used for ? Simple gift or application to put on something ?
With the Persian calligraphy i also almost always have the problem that writing style is of no help in trying to date the specimen. From what era would you think it comes ?

I am not sure these are digits, but that could give 12(6?)5  ???

I saw the "12", but whether the other elements were intended as numbers? I don't know  :-\
