Possibly Abbasid (750-1258)
Dinar (gold 18-19mm), dirham (silver 21-29mm) or fals (copper 15-22mm).
What is weight, composition and diameter?

I can't answer that but I've pm'ed him with the link to this post so maybe he will know.

Okay, here's a bit more info from rabtor

"As for the currency, it returns to the State Albuehip that ruled the country ruled Iraq, Persia and part of Syria before about 900 or 1000 years ago. Weight currency nearly 3 grams and a diameter of about 27 mm. It is gold"

Hope that helps

Here are a 2 website links that might help. The first one is also in Arabic. I would carry on looking but my head hurts now.

His coin, believed to date "about 900-1000 years ago' then fits into the middle period of the Abbasid rule (750-1258 AD). His coin weights less than a US cent (one minted between 1959 and 1982) yet its diameter is between a US quarter and half dollar coin. Accepting gold as the metal, you can imagine how thin this coin must be. Unfortunately, I don't read KUFIC script; what the lettering appears to be.
