I think this is Mamluk, fractional dirham of Muhammad I. On the left is an indication of his title as Al-Sultan al-Nasir Nasir al-din, on the right fragments of the Kalima.

al-Malik al-Nasir Nasir al-Din Muhammad ibn Qalawun (الملك الناصر ناصر الدين محمد بن قلاوون), commonly known as an-Nasir Muhammad ( الناصر محمد), or by his kunya: Abu al-Ma'ali (أبو المعالي) or as Ibn Qalawun (1285–1341) was the ninth Mamluk sultan of the Bahri dynasty who ruled Egypt between 1293–1294, 1299–1309, and 1310 until his death in 1341.

Thanks for the identifying the coin and the information, but is this AR fractional dirham?
and were you able to figure out the mint?
