Hello!
Not sure on what is on the reverse of this coin, but looks like a wolf on the front, would appreciate help identifying and learning what language this coin is in.

persian Civic copper coin of Shamakhi (Azerbaïdjan) at Safavid time (1095-96 AH) showing a lion under a palm.
The legend is : " فلوس شماخی " / "falus Shamakhi" ; even  not clear but your coin is likely dated 1095AH
same type as Zeno : #255476, but  your coin is of half denomination (half weight)

Dear Saro, the digit " 6  ۶ ", is visible at 9 O'clock of second photo above letter " Sin س " of the word " Fulus فلوس ". So the date is " 1096 ۱۰۹۶ ".
