Added this coin to my collection owing to its intriguing script. I've got no idea how to distinguish the obverse and the reverse sides.
DETAILS OF MY COIN
Metal: Copper
Diameter: 24 mm
Weight: 4.8 g
Thickness: 1.1 mm
Edge: Plain
Please help me identify this coin. If there's already a Numista entry, kindly direct me to it. Any discussion is cordially welcome.
Thanks

It looks like a fantasy coin, but I can't be sure.

Can the inscriptions be attributed to any particular region/civilization?

I don't think so. We should wait another opinion though.

Must be a fantasy, the only coins this one resembles is Ceylonese copper and your coin looks machine struck, which was not available at the time. Probably made in the 70s-90s.

if that helps: the script is not Arabic, not Farsi (Persian)
as for religion surely non-Muslim
looks very modern

It is not the script at all, it is an imitation of a script ... and imitation of a coin.

Thanks to all.
After the above observations, it can safely be concluded: this one will go straight to the forgery collection.
